Juan Angel

A CROWN JEWEL OF SANTA BARBARA COFFEES

Madcap has had the honor of being Juan Angel’s sole buyer since 2014, something we were eager to establish after meeting him and seeing his work ethic and dedication to producing quality coffee. Juan has 10 people, including family, helping pick ripe cherries on his roughly 8 acre plot of land, often making three total passes to ensure they are harvesting as much cherry as they can. The cherries are then pulped, and left in tanks for 16 hours to dry ferment. After it is washed, the coffee is transferred to raised beds to dry for 10-15 days. Surrounded by some of the most revered coffee farms in Santa Barbara, Juan stands tall among his peers. In this coffee, expect sweet complexity and shining acidity, with notes of green apple, caramel, and orange.
