Santa Isabel - Guatemala

Hoppenworth & Ploch

About This Coffee

Finca Santa Isabel is located in the Antigua region of southern Guatemala, grown at 1450–1550 meters above sea level. Managed by Karen Hernandez, the coffee is a washed-processed blend of Caturra and Catuai varieties. As a filter coffee, it offers clean, floral notes of orange blossom and Darjeeling-like character. As a light espresso, cashew and orange notes with lively acidity come to the fore. Volcanic soils with high mineral content contribute to the coffee's balance and distinctive flavour profile.

Hoppenworth & Ploch

Hoppenworth & Ploch started as a campus café at Frankfurt University in 2008 and has since grown into one of the city's most respected specialty coffee roasteries. Co-founders Matthias Hoppenworth and Julian Ploch have been roasting on a Giesen W30A in their Sachsenhausen roastery since 2019, with a strong focus on light roasts that reveal the full complexity of each origin. They were named Roaster of the Year 2021 by Crema Magazine, and their team includes a German Roasting Master champion. Alongside their three Frankfurt cafés — including one in the beautifully reconstructed new Altstadt — they run popular barista courses and supply offices and restaurants. Their stated mission: pushing toward a fairer, friendlier, and more sustainable food and hospitality industry.
