This coffee is a single origin from Guatemala, produced by small-holder growers based around San Lucas Toliman town near Lake Atitlán. The beans are processed using the honey method and dried in cherry on raised beds. The variety is a field blend of Bourbon, Pache, Caturra and Sarchimor, grown at altitude between 1500-2000 meters. The cup profile is described as jammy and elegant with ripe apricot and honey notes.
Tereza and Jon founded Curve Coffee Roasters in early 2016 in Margate, Kent, after meeting while working at a small London roastery. Jon first encountered specialty coffee while working at a high end equipment store in Sweden and went on to become a head roaster. Tereza's focus lies in responsible sourcing, ethical marketing, and sustainability across the supply chain. The roastery started at the back of a Margate cafe and has grown to a team of 15 with a customer base extending across Kent, London, and beyond. Sourcing runs on direct partnerships, including with El Zapoteco Cafe in the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca, Mexico, and the Colombian exporter Siruma. The preference is for showcasing individual coffee profiles rather than blending.
