Flavour Notes: Pear, Dried Fruits, Red Apple Origin: El Progreso, Sierra de las Minas, Guatemala Producer: Josue Morales – Los Volcanoes Coffee Processing: WashedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. 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: Filter 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 Sierra de las Minas in Guatemala, this lot comes from a small group of estate holders in El Progreso. After harvest, the coffees are brought together and prepared by Josue Morales and the team at Los Volcanoes Coffee in Antigua. Josue’s work centres education within growing communities and prioritises practical, sustainable farm management — an approach we value, and one that shows up here as consistency and cleanliness in the cup. In the cup we find pear, dried fruits and red apple. It is bright without being sharp, with a crisp apple-like 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., a juicy pear character, and an elegant dried-fruit sweetness that lingers. Our light filter roast is designed to honour that clarity and let the fruit sit front and centre. Grown at 1800 masl, primarily Bourbon with red and yellow Caturra, and finished as a classic washed, patio-dried coffee, this is a clean, unadorned expression of El Progreso. The elevation and slow maturation bring precision to the fruit, while careful handling at Los Volcanoes keeps everything wonderfully tidy and transparent. Brewing suggestion: for pour-over, start at 1:16–1:17, 92–94°C water and a medium-fine grind. Lean a touch finer for more red-apple sweetness, or a shade coarser to emphasise the softer pear tones. It’s a quietly compelling, very drinkable filter coffee. 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 .
