Party Bag - Guatemala

About This Coffee

This coffee is sourced from the Ayarza mill in Santa Rosa, Guatemala, highlighting the efforts of a community of smallholders including producer Arnaldo López. Grown at altitudes between 1400-2000 meters above sea level, the coffee features Anacafé 14 and Bourbon varieties. The cherries are harvested from high altitudes and transported to Amatitlan for processing. Using an anaerobic natural process, the cherries are dried on patios, turning from red or yellow to deep purple then black, before finishing in a mechanical dryer to improve acidity. This light roast offers notes of blood orange, gummy bears, and Parma violets.

Chipp Coffee Co.

Zach Chipp registered the company in 2016 as a roasting consultancy, then turned it into a full roasting business after moving back to his hometown of Leeds in 2019. His path to roasting was unusually varied: starting as a bartender at Jamie's Italian at 18, managing accounts for Musetti across venues like the Savoy, Claridges, and the Ritz, then training as a commercial roaster at York Coffee Emporium and consulting internationally through Coffee Nexus in Edinburgh, working in Bahrain, Dubai, Jamaica, and Italy. He started roasting late in 2018 in a corner of his father's warehouse on Dewsbury Road with a tiny roaster and half a bag of coffee. The operation now runs from a small industrial space in Holbeck with a range of 10 to 15 blends and fully compostable pods, supplying Leeds venues including Kapow Coffee, Coffee Synthesis, and Out Of The Woods.
