This single-origin coffee is grown in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala at an altitude between 1,200 and 2,000 meters. It is a washed coffee featuring a blend of Bourbon, Caturra, and Pache varieties. The flavor profile is characterized by notes of butterscotch, peach compote, pear, and white chocolate. This coffee offers a smooth, clean, and elegant cup with a creamy depth, making it suitable for both filter brewing methods and espresso.
Exe Coffee Roasters was started in 2012 by Kim and Steve Pearson on Exeter's high street. Steve built the original roaster from scrap pieces; today they roast on a Probat 12kg, producing close to 300 kilos a week from a basement roastery beneath their café on Heavitree Road. The operation is deliberately compact and independent, focused on seasonal espresso blends and a rotating selection of two or three single origins. Steve previously owned Devon Coffee in central Exeter, which he sold to concentrate fully on roasting. The café doubles as a gathering spot, complete with a brick fired pizza oven in the back yard.
