About This Coffee

Like your favorite pair of jeans, this easy-drinking coffee is comfortably delicious boasting tasting notes of apricot, Nutter Butter agave, and Twix Bar. It is a coffee that we continue to welcome back year after year because it is consistently a high quality easy sipper that is an excellent go-to for your everyday coffee. Coffee producer Luis Pedro Zelaya has four generations of Guatemalan coffee culture pulsing through his veins and a reputation for producing world-class coffees. At his farm Hacienda Carmona, Zelaya is meticulous about plant nutrition, pruning, and pest management. At Bella Vista (the location of the wet and dry-mills), Zelaya and his team meticulously process fully traceable lots by harvest date, location, variety, and altitude. Coffee is depulped, fermented, and washed in a traditional process that has been perfected over the last 100 years. The coffee is then gradually dried in a controlled environment designed to protect cup quality. Raised drying beds and sensor-controlled airflow permit a more uniform drying process. The same focus on sorting and quality control is executed through to the final export stage.
