Roaster notes
She is back for another year and she is better than ever. Peaches in syrup, jammy strawberry and a hint of jasmine, the ultimate expression of what to expect from Catarina Mendez.

It was during our trip to Guatemala in 2024 that we fortuitously met the Tinamit co-op at the Primavera dry mill, we fell in love with the producers of the group and their excellent coffees. This year the washed lot returns to us in the Trust range, where our buying is coordinated with our impact program in coffee producing regions.
Since 2017, Manuel Baca has been deeply involved in managing and improving the family farm, Finca Pacpa, in the Amazonas region of Peru. Coffee production is ingrained into this family's history, a fourth generation farmer himself and many of his relatives are coffee producers in their own right, so it comes as no surprise that this coffee is simply excellent.
Yeisson Calderon is the son of renowned coffee producer Luis Anibal Calderon, of Finca Betulia, running his own farm called El Vergel. Yeisson has coffee royalty running through his veins, and after leaving Huila to pursue a career in Bogota he returned to his rural roots on the farm.
Last year we were lucky enough to visit Chiapas and the 58 Tseltal women who grow this coffee, hearing first hand what they experience in a male dominated industry was eye-opening. We are excited to announce we have not one but two lots from the group this year. This one is tasting sweet and syrupy, a real crowd-pleaser.
