Flavour Notes -Butterscotch, Toffee Apple, Cacao, Silky & Bright Region: Santa RosaVariety:  Catuai rojoAltitude: 1590-1700 maslProcessing: Natural / Sun Dried Jorge joined the Conebosque cooperative in 2010, but his connection to the land began much earlier. He grew up on his family’s farm, surrounded by his father’s hard work and dedication to livestock. Despite this rural upbringing, Jorge, like many young people, became discouraged by the low coffee prices that made it difficult to make a living from the crop. Faced with uncertainty, he made a life-changing decision: to emigrate to the United States in search of better opportunities. For a decade, Jorge lived abroad, facing the challenges of being far from his homeland and his people. Yet, his heart always remained in Guatemala. After 10 years, he decided to return home to be close to his family and to take up the care of the farm once again, this time with a renewed vision and a strong commitment to coffee. Upon his return, Jorge found a farm with aging coffee trees, some over 50 years old. Instead of feeling discouraged, he began the task of renewing his land, replacing the old trees with younger, more vigorous ones. Today, much of his land is populated with coffee plants between 10 and 15 years old, ready to produce high-quality harvests. In addition, Jorge has diversified his farm by planting trees such as bananas, grevillea (silver oak), chalum, orange, and lemon trees, not only to generate additional income but also to provide shade and improve the ecosystem for his coffee plants. To his community, Jorge is more than just a coffee grower; he is a symbol of perseverance and vision. His positive attitude and kindness have made him a local leader who is always looking for ways to export his coffee and secure better prices to reward the hard work that each harvest entails. Jorge has shown that, despite the challenges, coffee can be more than just a crop—it can be a path toward hope and a brighter future for his family and his community. The production of batches of natural coffee is a process that promotes sustainability and respect for the environment. By not requiring the use of water in its processing, the environmental impact associated with the extraction and treatment of this vital resource is significantly reduced. This contributes to the conservation of local water resources and helps prevent contamination of nearby water bodies.The absence of water in the production of natural coffee also reduces the generation of wastewater and the need for subsequent treatment, which contributes to the reduction of the environmental footprint of the coffee operation. In addition, by avoiding the use of water, the energy required for the drying process is minimized, which in turn reduces the greenhouse gas emissions associated with coffee production.By adopting practices that dispense with the use of water in the production of natural coffee, coffee farms not only protect local natural resources, but also promote the conservation of fragile ecosystems and the associated biodiversity. This care for the environment is fundamental to guarantee the long-term viability of the coffee industry and to maintain the health of the ecosystems that sustain coffee production.  

This coffee is elegant with notes of citrus, berry and apple, with medium acidity with a hint of dark chocolate.  This coffee works well as a filter or as an espresso.SCA score 84 Cooperativa Cafetalera Capucas Limitada (Cocafcal) or Capucas as they are better known, is situated on and around the Celaque mountain, which is the highest peak in Honduras. Celaque means ‘box of water’ in the local Lenca language, and the mountain is the source for many rivers and streams. Capucas was founded in 1999 by Jose Omar Rodriguez and takes its name from the local town of Las Capucas. In 2004 Omar was chosen to become the general manager, a role he continues today. The coffee is harvested at its optimum ripeness and handed in at the cooperative. It is then washed, dried in a solar dryer, and stored in parchment before being trucked to the port of Puerto Cortés. Capucas were the first in the country to build a facility to dry microlots in a large scale with solar dryers. Coffee trees are pruned to a low height so it is easier to pick the cherries, however if its cut too short too soon they fall over. Therefore, the pruning is staggered: in the first year they prune to 180cm, 170cm in the second year, 160cm third year and 150cm in the fourth year; then when the tree is cut down to the bottom, the trunk is strong enough to support the new growth. The cooperative has many initiatives to improve the lives of workers and the local community, for example; they pay for a GP to treat workers for free in their health centre which is in the centre of Las Capucas. In 2016 Capucas partnered with the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) to provide a university education, the virtual classroom was opened in the community of Capucas in a rural part of San Pedro Copan, UNAH provide the technical support, teachers and subject matter for the students. They also have a football academy which is free to join and a virtual library for members, children and partners of Capucas They are also certified by Fair Trade , Organic, and Rainforest Alliance. This blend was created using cherries from multiple smallholders that deliver to Capucas, all located on the fringes of the Celaque National Park in the Copán region.Each blend is made of cherries picked and delivered to the co-operative on the same day. The cherries are mixed according to criteria such as altitude and certifications.Farm size ranges from 2.5 to 50 manzanas (1.75 to 35 hectares) and is usually divided into 2 or more parcelas or plots which are not always linked. Price of land is high (around USD 16.000 per manzana, some say), forcing farmers to grow their plots by buying parcelas in different places.After being separated, all cherries are loaded into ceramic tanks to ferment overnight. They are depulped in the following morning and fermented in water until the remaining mucilage loosens up from the beans. The coffee is then washed and taken to dry for up to 15 days on both patio and polytunnel.

 Flavour Profile A smooth and complex natural coffee, from the mountains of Takengon, Sumatra. The coffee has a profile starting with raisins followed by vanilla toffee (fudge) finishing with citrus zing of nectarine. Location Iwan’s processing facility is located at the top of a mountain around 1 hour from Takengon city, in Atu Lintang district. The mountains of Takengon are one of the most famous regions in Sumatra for high quality arabica coffees.  Aceh has a long history with coffee, which began during the Dutch colonial period in the 1930s. Even after the end of colonization in 1945, the coffee plantations remained. These plantations were later distributed by local authorities to the Gayo people, an ethnic group native to Central Aceh and Bener Meriah. The Gayo take great pride in being coffee farmers. Even during difficult times—such as the GAM rebellion from 2003 to 2005, or the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2022—they did not abandon their land. The Gayo were among the few who continued to care for and maintain their coffee trees, despite the challenges. Iwan accepts only the ripest and highest quality cherries for processing. These cherries are floated for density separation and then dried on a patio under a specialised canopy for 15-25 days depending on climatic conditions. Background Iwannitosa (Iwan) Putra is a farmer and processor based in Atu Lintang, Takengon district, with his wife, a teacher at a nearby school, and his two children. Iwan has a small farm of his own, but also buys cherries from 440 local smallholder farmers. He has built a wet mill and drying tents to process his coffee, and also treats his waste water properly. Iwan and his farmers have an extremely strict tolerance for high quality cherry selection, only selecting the highest quality cherries for processing to maintain quality. We first visited Iwan back in late 2017 and were hugely impressed by his operation and passion for excellence. We donated a small roaster and a moisture meter to help Iwan and his farmers with their development and we are delighted to have the opportunity to showcase Iwan's coffees in Europe. This lot is sourced from 50 farmers in Bener Meriah, central Aceh. This coffee works really well as a filter style brew or as a complex espresso.

Flavour Notes Blackcurrant, milk chocolate, tropical. A coffee that will cover both espresso and filter brewing.   Monte Alban is a thousand-year-old Zapotec ruin visible from the coffee farms nestled in the mountains around the site. Located near the city of Oaxaca, a renowned culinary destination in Mexico, the area's food culture has been influenced and perfected by its long and complex history. Monte Alban was one of the earliest major urban centers of the Mesoamerican classical period, reaching its peak between 200-600 AD before declining around 800 AD. The Zapotecs, an advanced ancient civilization, made significant advancements in astronomy, writing, and medicine. After their mysterious departure, the site was used by other groups, including the Mixtecs, who recognized its spiritual significance and used it for burials. This rich and intricate history lends a sense of magic to the region, connecting the past with the present through culture, artifacts, and the delightful coffee produced there. Coffee growers in this region have been cultivating coffee for more than three generations, using traditional and mostly organic methods. We have been working with these small communities to help certify their farms and add value to their products. The organic farmers contributing to Monte Alban primarily depend on coffee cultivation as their main source of income. In addition to coffee, many farmers migrate to the coast during the off-season to grow corn or raise cattle, which are essential for their sustenance. Oaxaca, with its rich cultural diversity, includes farmers who speak Mixtec, Zapotec, Mazatec, and Spanish. We began working with this group in 2018, starting with 55 independent organic farmers in the Sierra Sur de Oaxaca. As we expanded our Growers Education Program (PECA) across the state, we reached more remote communities, including Los Naranjos, Tierra Blanca, Malvarisco, San Pedro Pochutla, and Santa María Ozolotepec. By 2019, our reach had grown to 245 partner farmers, including communities like Lagunilla, Loma Canela, Ozolotepec, San Antonio Xanagua, San Antonio Ozolotepec, San Marcial Ozolotepec, and San Antonio Guivini, among others. Today, all the farmers are certified organic, relying on traditional farming methods and processing without chemicals, and producing their own organic compost. For them, farming is a heritage rooted in generational knowledge and shaped by their unique culture and identity. The certification, funded by Caravela, is free for all associated farmers, enabling them to enter the specialty coffee market and secure better prices.
