THE FARM

Santa Rosa is now one of the largest coffee-producing regions in Guatemala. This flight comes from the El Boqueron station, to which the coffee is supplied by small producers who grow coffee nearby.


THE PROCESSING

Natural, in that slightly funky direction. Fermentation and subsequent drying throughout the fruit. Simply, concretely, without alchemy, but with precision and skills.


ROASTER'S COMMENT

In addition to the high caramel-chocolate sweetness, you'll find no less vinous-tropical vibes and a powerful body. A successful balance between tried-and-tested classics and sensory nouveau riche.


PACKAGING

The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle). We also thought about glass, but it's heavier, more expensive, breakable and, wait for it, has the same or greater (sic!) environmental impact! A plastic jar turns out to be pretty eco-friendly, just remember to put it in the right container, or find a creative way to reuse it at home.
