From the roaster

Herbal complexity, creamy lime & dark jammy fruits.


Second generation farmer, Juana Jose Ramirez, is using quality to support her family in the remote Huehuetenango region.

Juana and her husband farmed side by side before he had to emigrate to find additional work to support their family.

Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon story, with many smallholder producers struggling to make enough money from their coffee. Thankfully, Juana has some great support through her El Sendero cooperative membership who provide valuable information and drive producer gender equality. And, as you'll taste in this washed lot, her focus on quality is paying off, making the most of her farm's 1650 - 1720masl altitude and careful processing of ripe cherries. Thanks to our exporter friends Primavera Coffee, Five Senses is proud to feature Juana's coffee for the first time!

Context

Sourced from the high-altitude landscapes of Guatemala · Huehuetenango, the T'zunwitz lot represents the meticulous work of producer Juana Jose Ramirez. This coffee is processed using the washed method, a technique often employed to highlight the inherent acidity and clean profile of the bean. Roasted by Five Senses, the cup presents a complex interplay of herbal undertones, creamy lime, and dark jammy fruits.

While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their clarity and brightness, the specific terroir of Huehuetenango frequently contributes to a distinct, layered sweetness. To better understand how these specific descriptors align with broader sensory profiles, you may wish to consult the flavor wheel. This selection offers a refined look at the potential of the region, balancing the crispness expected from its processing style with the deep, fruit-forward characteristics that define this particular harvest.
