A single-origin coffee from Toloxcoc, Rabinal, Baja Verapaz, Guatemala, grown at 1,450 MASL by producer Jaime Morales Milian on his farm Paraíso Escondido. The Maragogype variety — a natural mutation of Typica with notably large seeds — makes up more than half of his 8-hectare farm. Processed using a 38-hour fermentation washed method and sun-dried on raised beds for approximately 7 days. Flavor notes include key lime, golden pear, and persimmon, with high sweetness and balanced acidity.

Goshen Coffee Company
When entrepreneur Jay Beard discovered that founder Matt Herren was planning to close Goshen Coffee in 2011 after nine years of operation, Beard's eight-year morning coffee addiction drove him to purchase the entire company rather than find a new cup elsewhere. Their roasting philosophy centers around their custom-built fluid bed air roaster—a unique machine that bounces beans on cushions of heated air rather than tumbling them in traditional drums, achieving 90% greater energy efficiency while developing what they call "Good Shit Energy" through their cultivated trade approach that pays above fair trade pricing and builds lasting partnerships with growers.
