About This Coffee

This coffee comes from Las Flores farm in Jumaytepeque, Santa Rosa, Guatemala, at 1,885 meters altitude. Produced by Jaime Sanchez Casillas and his father Fernando, it is an Arabica Field Blend processed using the Honey method. The farm emphasizes soil care, water management, and shade cultivation with bananas, avocados, and macadamia. Cherries are harvested at full ripeness, sorted, depulped, fermented, and dried on raised beds for 18-20 days. Filter roast offers apricot, milk chocolate, and pecan notes, while the espresso roast features mandarin and toffee flavors.

Co-founders Matthias Hoppenworth and Julian Ploch have been roasting on a Giesen W30A in their Sachsenhausen roastery since 2019, with a strong focus on light roasts that reveal the full complexity of each origin. They were named Roaster of the Year 2021 by Crema Magazine, and their team includes a German Roasting Master champion. Alongside their three Frankfurt cafés — including one in the beautifully reconstructed new Altstadt — they run popular barista courses and supply offices and restaurants. Their stated mission: pushing toward a fairer, friendlier, and more sustainable food and hospitality industry.
