Flavor Notes
Chocolate Wafer, Red Plum, Brown Sugar
Cup Characteristics
Quietly indulgent, this coffee opens with the nostalgic crispness of a chocolate wafer, lifted with the juicy brightness of red plum. A layer of brown sugar throughout brings everything together with a soft, lingering sweetness. With balanced, comforting flavors, this coffee is a pleasure whenever you reach for a cup.
Producer Information
The Ceiba project involves 1,800 producers spread out over most of Huehuetenango. The majority are extremely small producers. A common farm size is 500–1,000 coffee trees, about one fifth of a hectare. Nevertheless, all producers process and dry their own coffee, sometimes on their own properties and often in a cluster with family members. Named after Guatemala’s national tree- the Ceiba - this coffee is the result of community and collaboration from the farm to the quality control lab.
