Guatemala
Santa Isabel

Cobán | Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai | 1400-1600 masl | Washed

Santa Isabel is one of our most anticipated perennial offerings. This year’s arrival is extremely complex with notes of blackberry, baking spices, marzipan, and pomelo. This sweet, versatile coffee produces an excellent filter brew or espresso.

Santa Isabel is located near the town of San Cristóbal Verapaz, in the cool rainy reaches of Cobán. The farm is situated on 300 acres of high, fertile land. Don Luis and his son, also named Luis, but nicknamed Wicho, manage the farm as general and agricultural manager respectively. When Don Luis first planted the farm, Cobán didn’t necessarily have a reputation for high quality coffee. Don Luis and Wicho knew that the region had more to offer. By placing their attention on improved cultivation techniques and perfecting their drying practices, they transformed the quality of their coffee over the course of the last decade. Their coffees have placed in Guatemala’s Cup of Excellence numerous times.
