Pampojila

About This Coffee

This coffee is a Ruiru-11 variety from Finca Pampojila in the Solola department of Guatemala. Grown at high altitude, this natural processed coffee offers a complex flavor profile. For filter brewing, it features notes of red apple, gummy candy, and rooibos. When prepared as an espresso, it presents flavors of almond croissant and blackcurrant. This lot represents the agronomic skill of the farm, which has been operating since 1851 near Lake Atitlán, and showcases the successful cultivation of Kenyan-originated varieties in the Guatemalan terroir.
