Guatemala La Esperanza

I wasn’t expecting the shade-grown process to make such a difference, but the cup is incredibly smooth with none of that bitter edge I usually get. You can really taste the care that went into the regenerative farming, and it makes my morning ritual feel a little more intentional.

I’ve been brewing this as my morning pour-over since the bag arrived, and the regenerative organic farming story makes each cup feel a little more intentional. The beans are incredibly clean and consistent, no bitter edge even when I get distracted and let it steep a touch long. Definitely a new fav

The shade-grown aspect really comes through in the cup—it’s a clean, bright brew that feels more thoughtful than your average bag. Knowing it’s from a research farm pushing regenerative practices makes the morning ritual feel a little more meaningful.
