the blend

1. ‘La Morena’ Womens Project from Guatemala

Translated as ‘The brunette’ or simply ‘Brown’, this coffee is exclusively farmed and produced by women in the Huehuetenango region of western Guatemala. In 2015 Volcafe, the importer, created this coffee cooperative with the aim of improving farming practices, crop quality and ultimately to secure higher prices for the coffee. It has succeeded, and the coffee is delicious.

Varieties: Bourbon, Catuai and Caturra
Process: Fully washed and sun-dried
Altitude: 1,400–1,600m

2. ‘San Manmeri’, Premium Smallholder coffee from Papua New Guinea

Fast emerging as an exciting specialty coffee producing country, this crop is a great example of what the high altitude, limestone soil and great growing conditions of this region of Papua New Guinea can produce. 

San Manmeri Kopi translates to ‘Sun People Coffee’ from Tok Pisin, the local Pidgin language. Coffee from 300 farmers in the Simbu, Eastern Highlands and Morobe Provinces are processed at Lahamenegu Mill. Once screened for quality, the beans are stored at high altitude where the humidity is low, and only transported by road to the port city of Lae at the last minute.

Varieties: Typica and Bourbon
Process: Washed
Altitude: 1,600–1,850m
