Arcoiris series
ONE YEAR OF HAPPY RAINBOW BAGS
Guatemala is a small country, but with so many coffee-growing regions, microclimates, and unique ecosystems, we consider ourselves lucky to taste a remarkable array of flavors in this country's coffee. Each year, we cup through elegant and well-structured microlots, clean, sweet, and juicy, and even adventurous honeys and naturals, processes which are relatively new in Guatemala. But there's always more, so much more.
Every year, we taste a few coffees that are really outstanding: fruity, sweet, and unabashedly unique. Sometimes these are washed lots, other times they can be honeys or naturals. Sometimes they are the result of an extra-long fermentation before being washed, or the result of fermenting honeys in a sack before depulping, and each one has a different story. There's no way to explain in a word what these coffees are like. Some show wild strawberry sweetness, some have explosive pineapple juiciness, some boast an intense grape-like funkiness. The only way to really capture what these coffees are like is to use a visual metaphor: they make up a rainbow, or in Spanish, Arcoíris.
This is why we decided to launch our Arcoíris series in 2021. To showcase the Guatemalan coffees that are wild, dynamic, and exceptionally delicious from the different corners of the country, any process and any story. Then we dig into that story, asking the question of how each coffee was processed and why simple coffee seeds might reveal a rainbow of flavor. These coffees will make up our Arcoíris Series, and we couldn't be more excited to share them with you. If you're looking for a special seasonal offering, a dazzling single origin, or an attention-grabbing competition coffee, you'll find spectacular Arcoíris options available. You can find them marked on our 2022 offer list, or email us to learn more and request samples!
