Roaster Notes
Guaya'b means 'mutual support' in the indigenous Mayan language Popti. Nearly all of the 600 members of this 34-year-old cooperative are of Maya descent. The cooperative invests in sustainability, as demonstrated by their many certifications: Smithsonian Bird Friendly, Organic, and Fairtrade. The coffee is grown under lush shade canopies, which create habitats for native and migratory bird species. This year's harvest is a stunner: syrupy chocolate with complex stone fruit accenting the cup make for great brews and amazing espresso.
