To celebrate Irving Farm’s 30th anniversary, we created a blend that features two of our longest and most significant producer relationships. This 50/50 blend of Santa Isabel and Monserrate highlights two coffees that we’re proud to have been buying for over a decade. They also represent two of our favorite expressions of coffee with big sweetness, citric acidity, and balanced profiles that as coffee lovers, we can’t get enough of.

Santa Isabel is an organic, practicing biodynamic farm in the Santa Rosa Department of Southeastern Guatemala, near the Honduran border. Managed by brothers Alex and Martin Keller, the farm has been in their family since 1899. Irving Farm has been a partner since 2012, and each visit brings new inspiration from its coffee and agriculture.
Monserrate is produced by a group of around 75 smallholder coffee farmers in Huila, south-central Colombia, known as Productores Para el Nuevo Milenio, or ProAgroMil. Named for the small mountain community where the producers are based, Monserrate sits in the steep, lush Andes, where differences in elevation, soil, sun, and temperature create distinct microclimates. Each producer ferments washed coffees at their own small mill, resulting in remarkable diversity within a small geographic area. As individual lots, these coffees are sparkling and distinctive; blended together, they create exceptional depth.
We created this blend to celebrate Irving Farm’s 30th anniversary and reflect on what we have accomplished and what inspires us about the future. As you enjoy this coffee, we appreciate your support and the important role you play in making this work possible.
Irving Farm was founded in 1996, when Steve Leven and David Elwell opened a cafe in Gramercy. Now, 30 years later, we’re looking back at everyone who has been a part of our 30 year journey in New York Coffee. Above all else, we’re grateful to the customers who buy our coffee, and the coffee producers who grow and process the coffee that we roast and serve. With our 30th anniversary blend, we tried to make a product to capture our gratitude and celebrate 30 years of Irving Farm Coffee Roasters.
The coffees in this blend are Santa Isabel, from Guatemala, and Monserrate, from Colombia. Irving Farm has been buying coffee from Alex and Martin Keller at Santa Isabel since 2012, and from the Monserrate group since 2013. Both coffees are staff favorites. Irving Farm’s Director of Coffee, Jay, has been blending them in his kitchen for years whenever both coffees are available. He considers it an absolutely perfect cup of coffee, and it’s a delight to finally share it with Irving Farm customers. As you enjoy a cup of the 30th Anniversary Blend, here’s what makes these two producers so special.
