Sweet, clean and crisp, this SIngle Origin Coffee comes from the Todosanterita collective from the Huehuetenango region in Guatemala.
Guatemala is the heart of Mayan culture, and July brings the National Folkloric Festival, the largest celebration of Mayan culture on the calendar. Mayan peoples from all over the country will come together to celebrate the culture and history through music, dance, costume and parades.
Todosanterita is the name of a collective of farmers based on the slopes of the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes - a mountain range which sweeps through the west of Guatemala - and together they have produced a coffee which is both bright and lovely.
When Todosanterita beans are freshly ground, they release aromatics of dried fruit and vanilla. When brewed the lighter impressions of peach and nectarine are given richness from the sweet flavours of medjool dates.
A fine lime acidity gives a crispness to the cup, finishing in red apple. All this is carried in a medium body, which tends toward syrupyness when drunk as an espresso, and becomes liquor-like when extracted through a filter.
We raise a cup of the Guatemala Todosanterita to celebrate alongside the people, and hope you enjoy this lively example of Guatemalan coffee culture.
