These Rio Zape beans are a beloved heirloom and culinary variety, noted for hints of chocolate and coffee. This varietal has been dry farmed to preserve water supply. The farm on which these beans are grown sits between two river beds, near the Northern Redwood coast in California. The deep silty soil benefits from good rainfall holding properties and draws out incredible flavor in these beans.
