About This Coffee

Guatemala El Sol comes from Vides Farms (also known as Finca La Bolsa), located in La Libertad, Huehuetenango. This cooperative of around 40 permanent employees and approximately 100 seasonal workers operates under Rainforest Alliance certification. Caturra and Bourbon varieties are grown at altitudes of 1,300 to 1,600 meters under shade trees. Cherries are selectively hand-picked and undergo a washed process — depulping, fermentation, and drying on terraces for approximately 15 to 18 days — before being quality-tested at a lab in Guatemala City.

Mlsnacava

Mlsnacava is the roasting project of Šimon Staš, René Hauser, and Matúš Gulbiš, three colleagues better known in the Slovak coffee industry through their company STACOMB Coffee Consultants, which distributes premium equipment from brands like Victoria Arduino, Nuova Simonelli, and Acaia across the country. Based in Banská Bystrica in central Slovakia, the trio holds the distinction of being the only SCA certified trainers in the nation and among just three active Q Graders. They trained their roasting approach in Copenhagen and have built a technology focused operation with a long term goal of bringing a Loring roaster to Slovakia and establishing a shared roasting facility for the local community. Every coffee is selected without compromise, and the roastery's name reflects their worldview: a pursuit of flavor that leaves no room for shortcuts.
