The Tasting Room

A Private Space for Hacienda Brew Members

Welcome

I am Merri Christi — founder of Perrimark Cultural Estate, creator of Hacienda Brew, and your guide through this private space.

The Tasting Room is an inner chamber of the estate, built specifically for our Hacienda Brew members. Here, you will find and access many of your coffee-related membership perks.

This is your chamber to dive into the world of specialty coffee, cultural exploration, and the elevated home café experience that Hacienda Brew was created to offer.

I bring my background as a museum curator, a filmmaker, and a culinary explorer into every experience we create here. We celebrate the beans, the farmers who grew them, the roasters who transformed them — and I build an immersive experience around the full story so that every cup you brew at home carries the weight and beauty of everything that brought it to you.

You are a connoisseur and flavor explorer. Welcome to the Tasting Room. Pour yourself something beautiful and stay a while.

— Merri Christi, Founder, Perrimark Cultural Estate & Hacienda Brew

Featured Roaster

We appreciate local roasters and love sharing our experiences with them! We do these by purchasing their beans for our virtual coffee connoisseur events. These events include virtual tastings and coffee and dessert pairings. We also spotlight roasters in our magazine Hacienda Brew periodically.
