STORY

Some farms grow coffee. Others spend a lifetime perfecting it.

The farm name La Esperanza translates to “The Hope”, a reflection of what coffee has made possible for the Morales family. Francisco Morales and his wife have spent more than 40 years growing coffee at La Esperanza in the mountains of Huehuetenango. What started as a challenging family venture has become a thriving farm that supports not only their household but the wider community too. Francisco is always looking for ways to improve, whether that's learning from other producers or refining how coffee is grown and processed. It's a mindset that has earned him recognition in the Huehuetenango Highlands and is now carried on by his son, Desvin, who oversees processing at the farm.

Cherries are picked and depulped on the same day they're harvested before a careful fermentation and slow drying on open patios. The result is a washed coffee that brings clarity, sweetness and balance to every cup.

A very special coffee for everyday drinking.

Expect refreshing notes of crisp apple and yellow plum followed by a sweet, fudgy finish. Clean, balanced and endlessly brewable, it's the kind of coffee you'll reach for every day.

FAQ’S

THINGS PEOPLE ASK US

IS YOUR PACKAGING RECYCLABLE?

Our 200g and 1kg bags are made from recyclable LDPE (plastic #4). Check with your local authority for kerbside collection or recycle at major supermarkets. Our Nespresso-compatible aluminium capsules are also fully recyclable through household recycling or local collection points.

WHAT ROAST LEVELS ARE YOUR COFFEES?

We roast most coffee to an omni profile, which means it suits all brew methods while keeping the unique flavour of each coffee. The exceptions are The Truth, Uprising and The Bold. The Truth and Uprising are roasted for espresso, so they are more developed and soluble. The Bold is roasted darker to bring out richer characteristics alongside the coffee’s flavour.

WHAT GRIND SIZE DO YOU NEED?

Grind size can be tricky as adjusting it helps you get the best extraction. We know not everyone wants to invest in a grinder or fuss with settings. So we’ve simplified options with recommended brew methods:


Filter ground – cafetiere, pour-over filter and long brewed Aeropress
Espresso ground – short brewed Aeropress, moka pot and home espresso machines
