Guatemala, Ixlama
Ixlama is a coffee that does its job and does it well. An approachable work-horse, this coffee appeals to the jaded coffee drinker and the enthusiastic novice alike. We roast this coffee to let its round, clean sweetness shine through, and frequently find notes of apple, chocolate, and caramel in the cup.
Where it's from
Ixlama is a coffee born out of collaboration. It is the culmination of work by over 100 family producers in the Guatemalan municipalities of San Pedro Necta and La Libertad in the department of Huehuetenango, a region known for rugged landscapes and high elevation. The crop, consisting of half Bourbon and half Caturra varietals, is shade grown and then sorted and milled at Transcafe’s mill at Caserio Teogal Adea San Martin. The mill uses “guardiolas”, a coffee dryer patented by a Guatemalan resident in 1872, after coffees are sun-dried on cement patios.
