Why Do We Think This Coffee Is Special?
This was the very first coffee we ever bought and roasted six years ago. To celebrate our birthday we've decided to bring it back for a limited run.
Ricardo Zelaya is a legend among coffee producers for his meticulous farming practices, processing, sustainability and workplace relations. The Zelaya family have been growing coffee for more than 100 years and owns farms throughout Guatemala.
This naturally processed coffee is a 100% Borboncito variety, a naturally occurring dwarf mutation of the bourbon variety that thrives in Antigua. Ricardo has worked hard over the years to perfect his naturals and this lot speaks for itself.
What Brewing Methods Is This Coffee Best for?
Santa Clara is our lightest roast. Perfect for that big mug of filter.
How Are Our Roast Profiles Different?
Our coffee has trended its way to being varying degrees of acid driven light roasts. We do this to highlight the collaboration of nature & farmer and the beautiful creations they make. We aim to preserve all the intrinsic characteristics of a coffee - variety, farm and process.
