Finca La Merced - Guatemala

Near the town of San Martin Jilotepeque, Guatemala, the Ortega family grow these Bourbon trees 1950 meters above sea level. The cherries are processed in the traditional washed process, de-pulped to remove the skin of the fruit before they are soaked for approximately 24 hours to ferment and loosen the sticky mucilage that surrounds the bean.

We roast small batches to ensure the freshest possible coffee while maintaining the intrinsic flavors within the fruit. We travel overseas to growing regions to meet producers and learn how their coffee growing practices, micro-climates, quality and care ultimately contribute to your cup.
