WHAT’S THE STORY?
This is just a stunning example of what the already famous region in Huehuetenango in Guatemala has to offer. Nery Pablo is a second generation coffee producer who inherited his farm from his parents in 2010. The farm name “Paya” means birth of the river in the local Popti Mayan language. A few years later he joined El Sendero Cooperative. This union allowed him access to marketing and agronomy workshops, seeing his farm produce better quality coffee than ever before alongside the skills to market it to a much wider audience.
Up front this coffee has a vibrant quince like acidity, giving the cup a super juicy and very clean profile. Overplaying this is a complex florality of honeysuckle. Florality isn’t all that common in coffee from Guatemala so it is a really unique thing to find. This really marries harmoniously with that juicy acidity to give a wonderfully elegant profile to the cup. A solid medium bodied finish is rounded off with the comforting sweetness of rich butterscotch.This coffee just vibrates with deliciousness, a super easy drinking and approachable coffee. Equally good as espresso or filter, this one is a lovely addition to the range and a pleasure to drink.
