Swerl - Ismael Quinteros - Guatemala (FILTER)

Grown at 1,760 meters above sea level on the family-run farm of Ismael Quinteros in the Santa Rosa region of Guatemala, this washed Pache coffee beautifully expresses both altitude and tradition. The farm reflects a deep generational legacy — Ismael is the third generation of his family to cultivate coffee, carrying forward nearly 60 years of experience and passion in every stage of production. Despite challenges like labor shortages, climate pressures and coffee rust, he has focused on refining his processing to enhance quality and share his story with roasters and drinkers around the world. In the cup, this lot greets you with smooth milk chocolate sweetness, vibrant apricot fruitiness and delicate floral aromatics that speak to both the terroir and thoughtful washed processing, resulting in a clean, balanced and expressive specialty coffee.
