I think of myself as a feminist.

My wife went to Berkeley for undergrad+grad school, I have two daughters, 10 Hens, and a girl dog. At the same time, why dudes hide in the garage is also a reality for me. (I think I just overshared, sorry)

This coffee is grown & processed by a Women only collective in Guatemala. Coffee regions such as Guatemala have long been male dominated. No different from anywhere else really. The ability to buy land, gain credit from banks, and sell coffee to global distributors have historically been in-accessible.

Vol-cafe Way, & other organizations have helped bring Guatemalan Women led collectives like La Morena to the market, and it's easy for someone like me to buy the coffee which also happens to be great.

Cabulco is right in the middle of Guatemala. Coffee graders are quick to state nutrient rich volcanic soils and rainy sub-tropic weather. What this does to coffee beans is beyond my understanding of coffee farming, but I could see this coffee benefiting from water additives to lower the PH if you're really deep into Pour Over water manipulation. Especially if your water is hard/full of chloramines like mine in San Diego.

This coffee starts bright and finishes with a chocolate hazelnut finish. It's got weight and density to the beans. I think this would be a good gateway coffee for someone who drinks green lady but is flirting with specialty/third wave. It's a classic yet elevated Guatemalan flavor profile. I'm offering it as a filter drip, but you can definitely drop this into the espresso hopper and make milk drinks.
