This is a washed coffee from Guatemala, specifically from the Poaquil region in the outskirts of Comalapa and San Jose Poaquil. The coffee comes from two villages in the mountains between the cities of Tecpan and Chimaltenango. These high altitude areas are home to several indigenous Mayan communities. The coffee is roasted for espresso preparation.
Coffea Circulor emerged from its founders' work with the United Nations environmental branch in Arendal, after witnessing coffee farmers in Kenya being paid merely $0.70/kg for green coffee. Initially roasting on a lighthouse island named Store Torungen, nowadays the company operates onshore as a multi-award winning producer, roaster, and research lab.
