Ace of Hearts - Guatemalan Single Origin

from £13.00

Our Christmas release has landed, ready to be smuggled down chimneys and under trees.

A Single Origin from Guatemala with classic festive flavours of Chocolate, Caramel, Marzipan and Candied Peel. It pairs well with a selection box and a cheeky tipple.

The farm, Finca La Bolsa, has its own school and nursery, with all staff having access to schooling for their children. When a child attends school or nursery for five consecutive days, the family receives a weeks supply of rice, beans, and corn.

A coffee to gift that gives back to its community too.

The artwork contains a small nod to my own son, Max, known affectionately as ‘Cherub’ in our house. Having been my inspiration to follow my dreams and start this business, it felt only right to have him as the figurehead of the ship.

Merry Christmas, from my family to yours!

The Farm - Finca La Bolsa sits between two mountains, which provide a very stable, humid microclimate. Combined with the limestone-rich soils, this gives the coffee a unique profile, with a rich, syrupy body and plenty of malic and citric acidity.

All temporary and permanent staff have access to schooling for their children, and are incentivised to leave their children at school or nursery through food donations. When a child attends for five consecutive days, the family receives a weekly supply of rice, beans, and corn.

Before this food ration scheme, it was difficult to persuade parents to leave their children in the care of others, as schooling was not always valued and there was greater pressure to earn money to feed the family. As a result of the program, there are now no children working on the farm and the school and nursery classes are full.

Accommodation is provided for both permanent and temporary workers, with separate facilities for men, women and families.

Sections of the farm are designated as conservation areas to promote biodiversity, reduce wind exposure, and prevent soil erosion. La Bolsa also operates an expansive composting program to make use of waste products.

The station also engages in environmental conservation efforts by managing water usage and ensuring waste treatment before disposal.

The Process - This particular lot comes from the El Cabro plot on the La Bolsa farm. The coffee is pre-fermented in bags before washing, resulting in a heavily fruited cup profile.
