This is one of three lots sourced by Semilla Coffee from a producer group around Mataquescuintla in the Jalapa Department of southeastern Guatemala. They are known locally by the name Cafe Colis Resistencia. It is here that the Indigenous Xinca people are resisting the construction of the Escobal silver mine that is being built on their land by Canadian-based Pan-American Silver. Currently, the site sits shuttered with it’s license temporarily suspended. This is thanks to the organized actions of the Xinca people in defense of their land against the ongoing forces of colonization and extractivism, to which they continue to oppose and resist. We encourage you to read more in the “About” section of this coffee, where you will find links to additional resources as well.
In the cup, we are tasting a great balance between stone fruit and citrus acidity, with the sweetness and body of browning sugars, chocolate, and cream.
