What We Taste: pluot + 100 grand + cosmic apple + almond
From our most developed farmer relationship comes this gem from Guatemala. “La Joya” translates to “The Jewel” in Spanish, and that is exactly what this coffee represents. David Solano is a coffee producer and mechanical engineer who, after winning three back-to-back national barista competitions, devoted himself to the cultivation of specialty coffee in his family’s 150 year old farm in Chimaltenango.Finca La Joya has been in the family for four generations, with coffee plants more than 125 years old. David’s brother, Eddy, who has an engineering degree in science administration, specializes in logistics and exporting for the farm while also managing the books. Our team has visited the farm multiple times where David and Eddy showed incredible hospitality through tours, tastings, and sharing the history of the area.
Through the range of tastes in the La Joya coffee, you can feel the experimental nature as you move from bright notes of stone fruit to balanced, recognizable chocolate and caramel, opening up to a more balanced and clean apple, and finally landing on an earthy nuttiness. It has truly been a gift to work so closely with this family of specialty coffee producers, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
