SANTA ELISA, GUATEMALA

About This Coffee

This coffee is from Finca Santa Elisa Pachup in the Acatenango region of Guatemala, located near the active Fuego Volcano. The estate sits at 1,200-1,700 meters altitude and spans 360 hectares of planted coffee. It is a single variety H1 (Centroamericano) lot, which is a cross between Sarchimor and Rume Sudan. The beans are carefully washed to remove volcanic ash from the cherries, then pulped, cleaned, and sun-dried on patios. The cup profile is big and juicy with red apple and plum notes, combining with sweet butter and vanilla for a caramel-like finish with hints of pecan. This coffee is part of the Sweet & Balanced category.

Campbell & Syme Coffee Roasters

Joe Syme and his mother Patricia started Campbell & Syme around 2012 in East Finchley, London. The team expanded when Jon Cowell, Dumo Mathema, and Ben joined, with Ben eventually becoming co owner and head of coffee. The roastery moved to Kings Langley in Hertfordshire in 2018 with a 15kg Giesen, added a 12kg Diedrich in 2020, and in 2025 shifted all production to an IMF RM20 hot air roaster for its lower emissions and energy footprint. Every coffee is omni roasted, meaning it works equally well as filter or espresso. Campbell & Syme earned B Corporation certification in 2023 and channels support through One Tree Planted, Bio bean, 1% For The Planet, and Project Waterfall. They pay producers above production cost specifically to fund local community projects at origin.
