We are so excited to introduce this lovely coffee. Our new Noé Misael Villatoro Guatemala is so jammy and winey, with a super pleasing candy-like sweetness. It comes highly recommended from the JBC cupping team, who also say it’s berrylicious and effervescent. We taste blackberry, watermelon, vanilla, purple grape, and lots of big mixed berry notes. A Caturra variety, this single producer, single variety microlot is definitely not your average Guatemala coffee. We suggest snagging a bag soon!
This special microlot comes from farmer Noé Misael Villatoro who grows coffee in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala. Known for producing some of the best coffees in Central America, this region is extremely diverse with a climate and altitude that lends itself to superior coffee production. This microlot is part of a program by our friends at Cafe Imports to isolate out exceptional small lots of farm-specific coffees in order to even further elevate the coffee quality coming out of the region and reward the farmer with higher prices for their coffee. It’s a win-win. We get an even better cup of coffee from a region already producing lovely cup profiles and the grower gets recognized for their efforts and rewarded financially.
Unparalleled quality, a human story, and sustainability – that’s our coffee philosophy.
