Chocolate. Molasses. Dried fruit.
Anchor is a rotational Guatemalan roast profile we offer throughout the year. This darker roasted single origin is a deeply comforting, low acidity brew with a silky body, big chocolate notes, and moreish molasses and dried fruit sweetness.
This coffee comes from the other side of the Antigua Region, divided by the Acatenango volcano. The volcano enriches the soil with minerals, and the high altitudes where this coffee is grown contribute to producing an incredible cup.
This coffee was sourced by Javier from Caribbean Goods who met with Omar Vela, the current president of the Acatenango cooperative, in 2024 and is currently working with small producers on the outskirts of the Acatenango volcano, near the village of San Pedro Yepocapa. The cooperative has a medical center offering reduced fees for everyone in the area. Javier believes that the lack of infrastructure is a fundamental issue within the industry, and it's impressive to see privately held institutions providing solutions to local villages.
