This coffee is from the foothills of Pena Blanca in Guatamala and has been roasted by our friends Steve and Lucy and their team on the back of a beautifully converted horse lorry using wood-fire at Potterbeans home studio in Blackwater near Truro. Here is what our friends have to say about it.
This sensational coffee is bursting with all kinds of sweetness. Produced by Cooperative Agricola Integral Peña Roja, based in Huehuetenango, Guatemala.

Coffee came to Colombia in the late 1700s by way of Jesuit priests who were among the Spanish colonists, and the first plantings were in the north of the country, in the Santander and Boyaca departments. Throughout the 19th century, coffee plants spread through the country, with a smaller average farm size than more commonly found throughout other Latin American producing countries
Colombia's average annual coffee production of 11.5 million bags is the third total highest in the world, after Brazil and Vietnam, though highest in terms of the arabica bean.
