Guatemala Folie

Rich and chocolatey, accented with notes of ripe berries and tropical fruit, the Folie continues to be one of our favorite coffees year after year.

Coffee Details

La Folie, from the farm of producer Penny Matheu, has become one of our most sought after coffees, year after year. It's easy to see why once you taste the perfect balance of fruit, chocolate and creaminess. Ripe berries and tropical fruit dominate this 2021 crop, alongside a lovely vanilla and honey sweetness. There's also some dark chocolate, fudgy flavors happening in this cup as well, with a rich body. This is one of our all-time favorites in our lineup and we can't wait for you to try this new crop.

 

Outside the picturesque and historical city of Antigua, Guatemala, lies the farm of Penny Matheu. She entrusts her coffee cherries to be processed at the Bella Vista mill, run impeccably by Luis Pedro Zelaya. We are incredibly proud to partner with Ms. Matheu and the Zelaya family for the sixth year in a row to offer this amazingly sweet, chuggable cup.
