Ella Female Producers of Guatemala

Notes: Carmelo | Candied Apple | Dark Chocolate Region: San Marcos, Guatemala Elevation: 1400 - 1650 MASL Varietals: Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra Process: Washed Roast: Medium The Coffee: This is a versatile bean that is a showstopper in any format. With espresso we get a dark chocolate body with apple like sweetness rounded out by a caramelo candy finish. As a pour over the candied apple is more pronounced. This is a awesome well rounded bean that tastes great no matter the method! The Producer: Great coffee should do more than taste good, it should empower the people who grow it. Across Guatemala, women make up the majority of the coffee labor force, yet they own disproportionately few assets and face significant industry barriers. The ELLA program is the answer to that disparity. The Ella program provides market access, and highlight the stories of amazing women producers, delivering an exceptional, crowd-pleasing coffee while providing a stable market for the farmers who grew it.
