About This Coffee

This Guatemala Finca Filadelfia is a washed coffee from the Antigua region of Guatemala, produced by Coffee Bird, a family-owned and female-led sourcing company founded by Marta Dalton. The coffee cherries are hand-selected at optimal Brix levels and deep red color, then sorted, pulped, and fermented for 24-36 hours. After a rinse and second soak, the beans are washed to separate dense beans, then dried on patios for 3 days followed by 3 days in a low-heat dryer. The farm has historical significance dating back to 1864 when Manuel Matheu first planted coffee at Filadelfia and helped establish the Antigua coffee region.

Clifton Coffee

James Fisher founded Clifton Coffee in Bristol in 2001, initially servicing espresso machines before Ed Buston joined and expanded the business into wholesale. Several of their earliest multi site customers in Bristol remain clients over two decades later. In 2013, Clifton invested in an in house production roastery and a training facility that was among the first of its kind in the UK. By 2022, it had become Bristol's largest roasted coffee wholesaler, supplying around 850 customers including specialty shops, Michelin starred restaurants, and five star hotels across the UK, EU, and Middle East. Ninety percent of the coffee is bought directly from origin through the company's own sourcing relationships. Clifton achieved B Corporation certification in 2023 and holds SCA Premier Campus status.
