This coffee is from the Huehuetenango region in Guatemala. Small producers in the Highlands of San Pedro Necta and La Libertad hand-pick ripe cherries and process them at the Ixlama mill. The cherries are sorted for quality before being dried on Guardiola driers, then sorted by color using computer technology and separated by size mechanically. The result is a clean, bright cup with citrus and berry flavors and a sweet, sugary finish.

PERC Coffee was founded in 2010 by Philip Brown in Savannah, Georgia, beginning with a Diedrich IR 12 roaster sourced from eBay and initial deliveries made by bike and backpack. The roastery operates from a restored warehouse alongside an organic community garden, embedding sustainability into both coffee sourcing and physical space. Brown sources colorful coffees from various origins, prioritizing long term producer relationships that allow consistency and trust building. The roasting philosophy centers on small batch profiles crafted to maximize sweetness and varietal character, while monthly free public cupping sessions invite the community into the sensory experience of specialty coffee.
