This coffee comes from the Huehuetenango growing region of northern Guatemala, near the border of Chiapas, Mexico. Ixban is an intentional blend of several very small farms that create a small micro-lot, combining the unique characteristics from each neighboring farm. The flavor profile features pink cotton candy, pink grapefruit, red grape, vanilla, and nectarine. It is a sweet, clean coffee with balanced acidity.
Case Coffee Roasters was founded in 2006 by Kati and Tim Case in Ashland, Oregon. The team roasts on a Diedrich IR 7 with a focus on light to medium profiles, using compostable packaging throughout. Sourcing follows a direct trade and relationship based model with an emphasis on sustainability, and USDA Organic certified coffees feature in the range. The café on Fourth Street serves espresso, pour over, and pastries from local bakeries, and the business supports nonprofits and arts organisations in the Ashland community through regular partnerships.
