This single origin coffee is from Sierra Mixe, Oaxaca, Mexico, grown by smallholder producers at 1600 meters elevation. The varieties are Borbón and Caturra, processed using the washed method. The flavor profile features cacao nibs, oat cookie, and fruit leather. This is a 6th year project coffee from a collective of producers around Santiago Atitlán, imported by Red Fox Coffee Merchants. The coffee delivers super balanced cups with caramel and creamy characteristics, complemented by acidity that keeps it buoyant.
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.
