Guatemala | Alma is a blend sourced from the highlands of Huehuetenango and other regions across Guatemala. It features Bourbon, Caturra, and Pache varieties grown at 1,400-1,600 meters elevation. The coffee is washed-processed and features a consistent, clean flavor profile with bright, fruited characteristics. Tasting notes include milk chocolate, spiced apples, and pecan filling. A portion of proceeds supports Habitat for Humanity Guatemala's Smokeless Stove Program.
Brothers Nathan and Gabriel Quillo founded Quills Coffee in 2007 in Louisville, Kentucky, driven by a vision for specialty coffee rooted in craft and community. Every batch is hand roasted in small 45 pound lots, with the roasting team relying on temperature, airflow, and the sound of the crack to guide each roast to its peak. The sourcing process is equally deliberate: the team samples over a hundred exceptional coffees each year and selects roughly twenty for their lineup, all held to a specialty grade standard that fewer than fifteen percent of the world's coffees meet. Direct trade relationships with producers ensure fair compensation and traceability from farm to cup.
