Los Manantiales is a farm founded in 1997 by Adolfo Pivaral, located in the mountains of Jutiapa, Guatemala, and now managed by his son Ronald Pivaral. This lot (#M12) comes from a section called "El Mirador" planted at 1800 meters above sea level. The farm uses a semi-organic system balancing organic and slow-release chemical fertilizers. The coffee variety is Red Catuai, processed using Anaerobic Honey method: harvested at peak ripeness, immediately depulped without water, then fermented in hermetic bags under controlled temperature and light conditions for 96 hours, and dried for 15–18 days to 10–11% humidity.
Atmans Coffee was founded in Barcelona in 2016 by Miguel Lamora, a two time Spanish Latte Art Champion and third place finisher at the 2013 World Latte Art Championship. Miguel started his coffee career in 2004 and is considered one of the pioneers of Spain's specialty coffee scene, having served as SCA National Coordinator for Spain from 2016 to 2019. The name comes from the Sanskrit word for soul or essence, and the roastery's philosophy centres on revealing each coffee's unique character. Atmans curates its selection based on a framework of Process, Origin, and Variety, offering a wide and rotating range of specialty coffees from their base in the Les Corts neighbourhood.
