From November 1st through November 30th, we will be donating $1 to Grounds for Health for every bag of Aragón, Guatemala beans we sell.
 
Please help us support this worthwhile cause. You can find bags of fresh-roasted beans at all of our locations or you can order through our online store.
 
About the coffee:
This selection comes from Alejandro Zelaya Andrade’s farm Aragon located in Antigua, Guatemala. Cultivating both Bourbon and Caturra varietals, Alejandro Zelaya Andrade brings the ripe coffee cherries to his cousin Louis Pedro Zelaya’s Beneficio – Bella Vista, where the coffee is pulped and fermented employing the washed process. Careful attention is paid to cleanliness, separation of lots and drying times on the patio. After resting in parchment for three to four weeks, the coffee is then milled and carefully packaged in grainpro liners ready for it’s voyage to our roastery. The Zelaya’s teamwork helps insure that the quality of this beautiful coffee is maintained during its processing and journey.

Tasting notes: Candied apple, plum, caramel, tangerine.
