Guatemala Antigua La Esperanza - 5lb
Flavors: Dark Chocolate, Molasses, Luxardo Cherries, Pecan
This coffee comes to us from the Beneficio La Esperanza coffee mill in the Antigua Valley of Guatemala. The valley is situated between three volcanoes, and this family-owned mill sources its coffee from multiple smallholder farms that grow their coffee in the valley and on the sides of the volcanoes, providing rich soil that coffee plants thrive in!
In the cup, this coffee is a perfect match with how we roast on the darker side of things; its profile is sweet and chocolatey with notes of stone fruit and is super enjoyable as a daily sip.

WHAT IS DIRECT TRADE?
Our green coffee is imported by De La Finca Coffee, who specializes in direct trade relationships. This means that they work directly with farmers to make sure farmers receive more money for their work. From De La Finca: "Through this supply chain model, we not only are able to empower and connect both farmers and roasters but we are also able to reinvest in local coffee growing communities through long-term school projects and initiatives, realizing our long-term vision for sustainable and independent communities."

ON ROASTING
Since we invest in great greens, we focus our roasting energy on getting out of their way. Our small-batch, fluid-bed roaster allows us fine control over roast profiles in addition to yielding a squeaky clean cup. We categorize our coffees by light, medium, and dark roasts, but we really view these levels as cues for tasting notes rather than actually reflecting roast profile.
