STORY

Huehuetenango (say it “way-way-teh-NAN-go” if you’re feeling brave) is one of Guatemala’s most iconic coffee regions. Around 80% of the local population relies on coffee to make a living – it’s not just a crop, it’s a way of life. We source this lot through Primavera, a green coffee importer who don’t just move coffee around. They’re in it to make things fairer, better and more balanced – especially for farmers. This one’s called the Sisterhood blend – grown entirely by women in Huehuetenango. In coffee, women do a huge chunk of the work but often miss out on land, training, funding and decision-making power. Primavera’s changing that. They work directly with smallholder women farmers, paying premiums for top-grade coffees (84–85 points, if you’re counting) with full traceability back to the farm. The extra money goes towards workshops that give these women even more tools to grow, thrive and lead. We’re not into buzzwords or empty promises. We back importers who do the work, not just talk about it – because better coffee only comes from better systems. This one’s a small step but it’s one that matters.

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
