Guatemala Los Suspiros

Los Suspiros is a brand new coffee for us this year. While cupping through many coffees this March in Guatemala, it really stood out with its syrupy flavor profile and clean finish. The cup is filled with notes of ripe, juicy mango, red cherry and canned peaches, with a crisp finish and hint of florals.

  Los Suspiros is the name of the collaboration between two friends, Fredy and Axel, representing 3,200 acres. Fredy and Axel grew up together in Huehuetenengo, playing basketball. While Fredy was away at university, Axel started working his grandfather’s farm. When Fredy returned to work on his father’s farm, they reunited, sharing a vision for producing high-quality, specialty coffee. Axel helps Fredy and his brother with technical forestry support, while Fredy taught Axel how to cup. Axel grows the coffee and picks it, and Fredy and his brother process the cherries.

Sourced from the high-elevation landscapes of Guatemala · Huehuetenengo, the Guatemala Los Suspiros represents the dedicated work of producers Fredy and Axel. This selection, brought to market by Case Coffee Roasters, highlights the distinct character often found in coffees from this renowned region. While the specific profile of a coffee is shaped by its unique terroir and processing methods, enthusiasts often look to the flavor wheel to categorize the vibrant, fruit-forward expressions found in such lots.

In the cup, this coffee presents a bright and expressive experience, characterized by notes of ripe, juicy mango, red cherry, and canned peaches, rounded out by delicate florals. These qualities reflect the careful cultivation practices employed by Fredy and Axel.
