Don Sabino

Don Sabino Micromill is a father-son project that produces meticulous coffees in what seems like "simple" conditions but with incredible care and attention to detail. Though the mill was established in 2011, Steven Vargas and his father have both been in coffee their whole lives. They own several plots of farmland in the area, where they grow a number of different varieties: Villa Sarchi is their primary crop but they also grow Catuai, Caturra, Gesha, SL-28, and a small amount of Mokka. Since 2014, they switched the entire production to natural processing, which requires much attention and work. However, the Vargas' strength lies in the fact that their processing plant is located in the farm's (which also serves as the family's residence) backyard so they can practically keep the processes under constant control.
