Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. Farm: Multiple holders in El Progreso VarietyVariety (cultivar)The botanical subtype of the coffee plant — Gesha, Bourbon, SL28 — analogous to grape varieties in wine. A major driver of cup character alongside origin and process.: BourbonBourbonOne of the two foundational arabica varieties (with Typica), named after Île Bourbon (Réunion). Sweet, balanced, caramel-leaning; parent of countless modern cultivars., Red and Yellow CaturraCaturraA natural dwarf mutation of Bourbon found in Brazil: compact plants, easier picking, bright and clean cup. A workhorse across Latin America. Altitude: 1800masl m.a.s.l. Roast Profile: Espresso RoastEspresso / omni roastAn 'espresso roast' is developed further for extraction under pressure; an 'omni roast' is profiled to work for both espresso and filter from one bag. Degree: Light From the cool, limestone slopes of Sierra de las Minas in El Progreso, this coffee brings together the work of several small estate holders. After harvest, the parchment is prepared in Antigua by Josue Morales and the team at Los Volcanoes Coffee, who place farmer education at the centre of their work—covering biodynamic practices, naturalNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed. Gives heavier body and big fruit flavors — think berries and wine — sometimes with a fermenty edge. pest and fungus control, and thoughtful farm management. In the cup it’s classic, clean Guatemala with lovely clarity: ripe pear and red apple, a crisp malic acidityAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it., and a gentle dried-fruit sweetness. The washed, patio-dried process keeps everything tidy and composed. What we love at Fjord is the way that pear-like sweetness meets red-apple brightness, finishing with that quietly persistent, dried-fruit depth. We’ve roasted this lightly for espresso to emphasise sweetness and structure. It’s easy to dial in, delivering a silky texture and clear, apple-led acidity. Enjoy it straight for definition, or with milk where the fruit sweetness broadens without losing its poise. Composed of Bourbon plus red and yellow Caturra grown around 1,800 masl, this lot showcases slow maturation at elevation, careful processing, and a focused roast designed to honour the work done at origin. 250g €/kg: 63.6€ | 1kg €/kg: 53.9€ All coffees come as whole beans.If you need a coffee grinder we highly recommend purchasing the Fellow Ode Grinder .
