Origin Info

The idea behind our Shop Filter is a simple one, a people pleasing sweet and reliable coffee that doesn't break the bank. Whether you brew in a french press, with a pour over or on a stovetop, we wanna offer some beans that fit easily with any routine. Picture sipping on a good old cup of Joe when you're wrenching away on your classic cars, old bikes or coffee machines (you all do that for fun as well right?).

The coffee itself will change on a seasonal basis, showcasing origin, processing and terroir with the same levels of traceability you're used to from us.

This edition of our Shop Filter is a washed Guatemala: La Morena. Produced exclusively by female farmers from from Huehuetenango, one of the better-known region of Guatemala. One of Guatemala‘s three non-volcanic regions, Huehuetenango is also the highest and driest one, making it one of the best to grow coffee. The region depends heavily on the coffee industry and exports.

In Guatemala, coffee has long been a male-dominated industry and gender equality remains a challenge. It is still unfortunately very difficult for women in Guatemala to compete and thrive in the coffee world. La Morena is a coffee that showcases the work of women farmers across Guatemala.

Between 20 and 30 percent of coffee farms are female-operated and up to 70 percent of labour in coffee production is provided by women, depending on the region. However, women have systemically lower access to resources such as land, credit and information, than men. This often results in a measurable gender gap in economic outcomes, including yields, productivity and farm income.
