Relationship:

We have a special place in our hearts and our shelf for Hacienda Sonora. We were one of the first ever in Canada to roast and offer his coffee. We also had a chance to meet Diego in Montreal which really solidified our relationship. Knowing Diego and how much he cares about his coffee and his staff encourages us to carry Diego's coffee every year. Plus... his coffees are dynamite.
