Sey's preference for buying micro-lots, or even whole harvests, from farmers who are one has earned it the acclaim of New York City coffee enthusiasts. In the past, they made a six-bag micro-lot purchase of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai 785 from Brazil's Espirito Santo region.

La Carba follows a strict process to find their perfect beans. They scour through hundreds of beans each year in order to select the beans that best match their ideals.
