This coffee is from Huehuetenango, Guatemala, grown at 1,520-1,830 meters altitude in the highlands of San Pedro Necta and La Libertad. It is a washed coffee from shade-grown small producers including Finca El Paternal and Finca Nueva Palmira. The beans are sun-dried and mechanically sorted by color, density, and size. It has medium roast with tasting notes of strawberry and brown sugar, featuring a clean and balanced cup.
Steel Oak Coffee was founded in 2016 by Carl and Michele Dupper in Ormond Beach, Florida, with a focus on small batch specialty grade coffee. The roastery produces clean, natural flavors without additives, letting the bean speak for itself across a rotating selection of origins from Ethiopia, Kenya, Nicaragua, Brazil, Guatemala, and Colombia. Steel Oak sources ethically and seasonally, with full traceability that allows the Duppers to share the producer stories and farming practices behind every bag. Visitors to the roastery can watch the process firsthand, experiencing a working small batch operation up close.
