Meet the People Behind Your Cup
About ten years ago, our green coffee supplier, Genuine Origin, started a program in Guatemala called La Morena. The purpose of the program was simple and important: to help women coffee growers gain better access to the global coffee market.
It started small, with four female coffee growers who were members of the International Women’s Coffee Alliance. Those first coffees were received very well by roasters, and the program began to grow. Today, the La Morena Program includes around 800 women coffee growers, and the coffees produced through this program have become highly sought after by roasters around the world.
This is not the first time we have brought you coffees produced entirely by women. Some of you may remember La Hondureña from 2021 or Rwanda Kawa Yaku Peaberry
from 2024. Both were produced by women, and both were coffees many of you remembered long after they were gone.
About This Coffee
Guatemala is divided into 22 departments, which are similar to states here in the U.S. This coffee was grown in Baja Verapaz, in and around the municipality of Cubulco. The farms in this area sit at elevations between 5,249 and 5,905 feet above sea level.
This lot was washed processed, which means the coffee fruit was removed before the beans were dried. Washed coffees often give us a clean, bright cup that lets the character of the region come through clearly.
There are six coffee varieties in this lot: Catuai, Pache-San, Ramon, Sarchimor, Bourbon, and Caturra. That blend of varieties helps create a cup with depth, balance, and complexity, while still
being very approachable.
What to Expect in Your Cup
This is a medium-bodied coffee with a smooth feel and a lively brightness.As you drink it, you may notice flavors that remind you of; Milk chocolate, Praline, Granola, and Green apple.
The green apple note gives the cup a little lift, while the milk chocolate, praline, and granola notes make it feel warm, familiar, and easy to enjoy.
Easy Food Pairings
This coffee pairs beautifully with foods you may already have in your kitchen. Try it with
apple slices, cheddar and crackers.
The apple highlights the bright note in the coffee, the cheddar brings a little creamy richness, and the crackers keep everything simple and balanced.

The Farmers behind your premium cup
Warmikuna means “women” in Quechua, one of Peru’s oldest languages. This lot was produced by the Warmikuna Cooperative, a group of 55 women coffee producers committed to quality, sustainability, and leadership within their communities. Six farms are currently leading the way in profitable sustainability and regenerative farming practices. These farms serve as working models, where other producers can see technical training and agronomic standards in action.
Coffee has been part of Peruvian culture since the 1700s, and today, these women are not just participating in that tradition—they are actively shaping its future.
about this coffee
This coffee was grown between 3,600 and 5,400 feet above sea level in Peru’s Junin region, where the Andes mountains meet the Amazon rainforest. This unique environment creates a diverse and fertile landscape ideal for coffee cultivation. The lot is composed of Caturra, Catimor, and Typica varietals and processed using the washed method, resulting in a clean, balanced cup that reflects both the terroir and the precision of the producers.
Junin is one of Peru’s most biodiverse regions, connecting multiple ecosystems and allowing cultural and natural richness to coexist. This is something that is clearly expressed in the cup.
The Coffee
This coffee is smooth, balanced, and quietly complex. It carries a medium body with a creamy mouthfeel and gentle, well-integrated acidity. In the cup, you may experience notes of apricot, dried dates, brown sugar, chamomile, and lime. The overall profile is warm and approachable, with just enough brightness to keep it lively without overwhelming the palate.
