This single-origin coffee is produced by a collective of smallholder farmers in the Sierra Mixe region of Oaxaca, Mexico, at an altitude of 1600 meters. The coffee consists of Borbón and Caturra varieties and is processed using the washed method. It offers a balanced flavor profile with tasting notes of cacao nibs, oat cookie, and fruit leather, characterized by a creamy acidity and caramel sweetness.
Run by a small group of friends and family in Victoria, British Columbia, Bows Coffee Roasters centers its work around direct trade relationships with producers, particularly in Guatemala. Their Torch Song cafe in downtown Victoria and a dedicated roastery on Garbally Road provide two distinct spaces for the community to engage with their coffee. Ethical sourcing and support for vulnerable farming communities are core to the business, not just marketing language. Rotating single origins and precision roasting ensure that each release reflects both the producers' hard work and the team's dedication to craft.
