Our Guatemalan naturals are almost here!
This week we finished milling and bagging this year’s natural lots from Guatemala. Working with smaller lots and whole cherries makes the process especially technical and time intensive - requiring extra cleaning runs, careful recalibrations, and plenty of attention at every stage - but the results are always worth it.
Producing naturals comes with risk, but it also gives producers the opportunity to elevate cup quality and earn higher prices for their harvests. This year’s coffees have been tasting fantastic so far, and we’re excited to finally get them on the water.
Head to our offer list to see what’s inbound.![Counting down to Roast Summit! Primavera is a proud sponsor and this event is a special one - two...]()

Last year we were lucky to meet Yulieth Mora at her farm Villa Pastora in Huila, Colombia. Yulieth produces a range of fantastic single variety lots, washed, naturals and more. Volumes are relatively small but quality is outstanding! We have two more lots available heading to Europe/UK. A Washed Bourbon Aji and Washed Pink Bourbon. Reach out if you haven't tried her coffees already! ![Exploring the range and depth of coffee profiles in Ethiopia has been an exciting journey for our...]()
Exploring the range and depth of coffee profiles in Ethiopia has been an exciting journey for our team over the last few years. We’re excited to be welcoming another harvest and continuing to work with passionate producers like Daniso Horsa, pictured here at his processing site in Bombe, Shantawene, Ethiopia.
New lots will be landing over the coming weeks, so keep an eye on our offer list for the latest availability — and be sure to request samples early so you don’t miss out. Look out for Daniso’s reduced oxygen natural ferments and cascara-infused washed lots.![Update from Huehuetenango, Guatemala 🇬🇹 Our agronomy team has been on the road delivering...]()
Update from Huehuetenango, Guatemala 🇬🇹
Our agronomy team has been on the road delivering training to producers on the benefits of biochar - and how to make it at farm level.
Biochar is a highly porous form of charcoal that helps improve soil health by increasing aeration, retaining water and nutrients, and creating better conditions for beneficial microbes and fungi.
Even better, it can be produced quickly and affordably using simple ovens fueled by farm waste - coffee cherry and tree cuttings.
This year, we built and distributed 20 ovens to producers across Huehuetenango as part of an ongoing project to monitor and better understand the impact of biochar throughout our coffee value chain. Keep an eye out for more updates as the project develops!![Nestled on the shores of Santiago Atitlán, beneath the volcanoes of San Pedro, Atitlán, and...]()
Nestled on the shores of Santiago Atitlán, beneath the volcanoes of San Pedro, Atitlán, and Tolimán, is Cafe Magarciy a wet mill run by the Ramirez brothers.
Earlier this year, we were lucky enough to visit the Ramirez family and their beautiful wet mill, lab, and nurseries - where they not only process coffees from the local community with incredible care, but also experiment with pruning techniques, coffee varieties, irrigation and new processing methods.
Expect to see more updates from Magarciy and the Ramirez family this season!![If you’ve joined us for a visit through Fraijanes and Jalapa, you’ll probably recognise these...]()
If you’ve joined us for a visit through Fraijanes and Jalapa, you’ll probably recognise these drying beds at Finca La Concepción. 🌞
This is one of the sites where our regional blend, Cafe Del Valle, is carefully milled and dried to perfection - bringing together small lots from many smallholder producers to create a clean, consistent coffee perfect for espresso.
Cafe Del Valle is available in our warehouses now - reach out to try a sample.![A dream lunch with one of our producers in Guatemala! Chicken soup with vegetables and the...]()
