Costa Rica La Guaca is from the Ureña Rojas family (Café Rivense del Chirripó) in Chirripó, Brunca, Costa Rica at 1600 masl. A Red Catuai blend of two lots (natural and honey processed) producing a sweet, juicy, fruit-forward cup with tasting notes of melon, cherry, and chocolate and a balanced body.
Methodical Coffee was launched in Greenville, South Carolina, in 2015 by a trio of friends David, Will, and Marco. They managed to blend Will’s background running a mobile coffee cart with Marco’s product design skills to build a brand that looks super elegant but feels totally warm and welcoming. Their roasting style is all about clarity and sweetness; they generally avoid the super-dark stuff in favor of clean, vibrant profiles that are easy to drink every single day. The packaging is famously beautiful, patterned and floral. It feels like the ultimate Southern hospitality take on specialty coffee.
