This decaf is sweet and round with lots of caramel and chocolate notes and a hint of raisin.

The coffee is decaffeinated by bathing the steamed coffee beans in compressed carbon dioxide, before the caffeine is removed from the CO2 through charcoal filtering. Compared to other processes, the flavor components remain in the bean throughout the process rather than being soaked out and then put back in again. Carbon dioxide is the same ubiquitous and natural substance that plants absorb and humans produce

San Antonio Huista Community

Producer: 15 smallholder producers
Purchasing relationship: 1 years
Region: San Antonio Huista, Huehuetenango
Altitude: 1550-1650 masl, 15.7°N

A total of around 15 smallholder producers in the San Antonio Huista area make up the group that contributes to this coffee. Some of the individual coffee lots included are too small to stand alone as microlots. Selling those smaller lots at a good price allows the producers to invest in their farms and wet mills. The coffee was selected to create a sweet and balanced coffee.

Primavera Green Coffee

We have been buying coffees from Guatemala in collaboration with Primavera Coffee for five years. In fact, they have been among the first couple of companies we worked with to source coffee at all. A women-led company that is on the ground in Guatemala every day, Primavera works with a small-ish number of coffee producers with a focus on female producers.

Their founder Nadine comes from a family with four generations of coffee growers in Guatemala, and she started Primavera to honor this legacy. By building and fostering relationships between roasters and producers, helping with logistics and financing and with their expertise, they facilitate a more direct and transparent trade, with sustainability at the forefront of everything they do. Thanks to transparent and traceable value chains, it is possible that producers are well-rewarded for their efforts and their enthusiasm.

Originally working exclusively with Guatemalan coffee producers, they expanded their operations to include new origins, featuring more coffees that represent their values of sustainability and outstanding quality
