Guatemala La Bolsa is a stunning, award winning coffee grown by Jorge Vides on his farm, Finca La Bolsa. The farm sits between two mountains which provide a stable, humid microclimate. Coffee Care funded the construction of a school and nursery on the farm, staffed with fully trained, full time teachers. All temporary and permanent staff have access to schooling for their children and they are incentivised to leave their children at school or nursery through a food donation program. When a child attends school or nursery for five consecutive days, the family receives a weekly supply of rice, beans and corn.
This stunning single origin offering benefits from being grown in limestone-rich soil which gives the coffee a unique profile with a rich, syrupy body full of malic and citric acidity. In the cup, expect notes of milk chocolate, orange, praline and treacle. This coffee works perfectly using most brewing methods so whether you like a nice, thick and gooey espresso or a flavourful vibrant cup of filter, then this is definitely one to savour.
