Guatemala - Huehuetenango - Santo Domingo - Lavado

About This Coffee

This coffee comes from the Huehuetenango mountains, one of Guatemala's most prestigious regions. Cultivated around 1,700 meters above sea level on slopes exceeding 50% gradient, it grows in an extreme environment where dry climate, warm winds from Tehuantepec, and clay-loam soils create a perfect microclimate for dense, sweet beans with excellent acidity. Small producers work with careful soil analysis, tissue management, and erosion control. The varieties are Bourbon, Caturra, and Catuaí. The washed process uses traditional Guatemalan methods with depulping and fermentation, followed by drying on elevated patios. The cup profile is sweet, soft, and aromatic with fruity fragrance and a base of cocoa and toasted bread, featuring notes of raisins, honey, currant, and a subtle tobacco nuance with smooth and elegant acidity.

Mori Coffee

Mori Coffee traces its roots to 1928, when a family of Japanese immigrants settled in Parana state, Brazil, and began growing and roasting coffee. Nearly a century later, Avi Castineiras and Pedro Tanoira brought those beans to Santiago de Compostela, opening their first space at the Mercado de Abastos in February 2021. A second space followed in April 2022 inside the historic El Rhin building, preserving its original 1960s glass storefront. The coffee comes from Fazenda Mori, still run by the third generation of the founding family, and this marks the first time the farm's coffee has been sold outside Brazil. Japanese decorative elements inside the space honor that heritage. Mori's philosophy holds that coffee deserves the same attention and respect as wine, and the pairing of Brazilian farming tradition with Galician hospitality makes for something genuinely distinctive.
