This coffee is produced by Aurelio Villaure at Finca La Esperanza in Guatemala. The coffee reflects a multi-generational commitment to quality farming and has been recognized in the Guatemalan Cup of Excellence competitions. It offers a balanced flavor profile characterized by notes of stone fruit, specifically apricot, along with grape and praline, resulting in a rich, lingering finish.
Case Coffee Roasters was founded in 2006 by Kati and Tim Case in Ashland, Oregon. The team roasts on a Diedrich IR 7 with a focus on light to medium profiles, using compostable packaging throughout. Sourcing follows a direct trade and relationship based model with an emphasis on sustainability, and USDA Organic certified coffees feature in the range. The café on Fourth Street serves espresso, pour over, and pastries from local bakeries, and the business supports nonprofits and arts organisations in the Ashland community through regular partnerships.
