Background
This multiple award winning coffee is grown in the micro region of Hoja Blanca (White Flower), Huehuetenango by Juan Villatoro and his family. The area is absolutely ideal for growing Red Bourbon cultivars where the coffee receives the perfect balance of sun, shade and rainfall at the perfect elevation and grown in incredibly rich soil conditions Juan and his family have been producing quality coffees for over three generations and in fact, are one of very few lineages to achieve a top ten cup of excellence award at over 75% of the competitions held in Guatemala. This coffee is Juan and his son's "special micro lot" and represented the best Guatemalan coffee we tasted in 2018.

Background
Our friends at Trabocca have helped us source this wonderful coffee from the Borena zone of Southern Ethiopia that delivers a flavour that is a little different than your standard Ethiopian coffee. First, the coffee is processed with help from our partners at the Borboya Washing Station where their meticulous separation and drying process yields a consistent and lively flavour profile. The coffee itself has an incredible body, buttery texture and a complex layering of flavours ranging from Black Tea to Honeysuckle. This coffee was one of the better, sweeter cups that we sampled from Ethiopia this last year.
