SIPRO

This washed lot from SIPRO hits the sweet spot for our house filter range - consistent, approachable quality with clear impact at origin. Amatenango de la Frontera sits right across from Huehuetenango, one of our favorite regions in Central America, sharing the same highland conditions. SIPRO (Sierra Productora de Cafe) formed when nine young producers decided to bypass local commodity buyers and work directly with specialty importers.

Produced by SIPRO in the Amatenango de la Frontera region of Mexico, this washed coffee represents a focused expression of its origin.
