This coffee is sourced from La Cooperativa Samac, a community of 178 families located north of Cobán in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. The cooperative focuses on coffee production and forest conservation, having re-forested over 850 hectares of land. This washed coffee offers a flavor profile featuring notes of toffee, spice, and white grapes. It is roasted to a medium level, providing a balanced cup suitable for various brewing methods.
Kings Peak Coffee Roasters was founded in 2018 by Garland and Brandy Ledbetter in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company hand roasts specialty coffee in small batches, sourcing through direct trade relationships with farmers in Guatemala, Costa Rica, and a growing list of origins. The Ledbetters built the business around fair compensation and personal connections with the people who grow the coffee, working with importers who prioritize traceability. The lineup includes barrel aged coffees, single origin lots, and signature blends named after Utah peaks. A second location, Kings Peak Greenprint, opened at the end of 2024.
