Sipacapa

Sipacapa is more than a delicious coffee; it's a commitment to sustainability. Since its inception in 2009, the Asociación de Caficultores y Agricultores de Sipacapa (ACAS) has championed coffee production as a green alternative to the mining industry in San Marcos. The organization also supports its members’ transition to organic production. With notes of apple, simple syrup, and a lingering aftertaste of sweet cocoa, Sipacapa coffee invites you to savor the fruits of their transformation.

Sourced from the San Marcos region of Guatemala, the Sipacapa lot represents the collaborative efforts of the Asociación de Caficultores y Agricultores de Sipacapa. This coffee is brought to market by Counter Culture Coffee, a roaster known for its focus on transparency and direct relationships with producers. In the cup, this selection offers a balanced profile characterized by notes of apple, simple syrup, and sweet cocoa.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to consult a flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between fruit-forward acidity and sugar-browning sweetness. While coffees from San Marcos are often recognized for their distinct regional character, the specific processing methods and local microclimates play a significant role in shaping the final sensory experience. This particular offering highlights the consistent quality achievable through the dedicated work of the Sipacapa farming community.
