This single origin coffee is from Guatemala, specifically from the San Miguel region in Mataquescuintla. Grown at 1800 meters elevation, it features Yellow Caturra and Pache San Ramón varietals. The coffee is washed processed at En casa mill. Produced by José Ramirez, a 12-year participant in the resistance group, whose farm is located just north of Alex and Irma's in the municipality of San Miguel. The coffee exhibits flavor notes of jasmine, cream, and tangerine, with sweet, clean, and subtle stonefruit characteristics.
Run by a small group of friends and family in Victoria, British Columbia, Bows Coffee Roasters centers its work around direct trade relationships with producers, particularly in Guatemala. Their Torch Song cafe in downtown Victoria and a dedicated roastery on Garbally Road provide two distinct spaces for the community to engage with their coffee. Ethical sourcing and support for vulnerable farming communities are core to the business, not just marketing language. Rotating single origins and precision roasting ensure that each release reflects both the producers' hard work and the team's dedication to craft.
