ABOUT THE COFFEE

This coffee hails from the renowned Huehuetenango region in Western Guatemala, known for producing some of the finest coffees in Latin America. Waykan, which means “star” or “light” in the Maya Q’qnjobal dialect, reflects the bright and dynamic characteristics of this exceptional offering.
Grown at altitudes of 1400-2200 MASL, this washed coffee is a blend of traditional varieties, including Bourbon, Catimor, Caturra, Maragogype and Pache, cultivated by smallholder farmers. The meticulous washed processing method highlights the coffee’s clarity and sweetness, bringing out its vibrant flavour profile.
Expect a cup filled with flavours of panela, dark chocolate, raisin and cooked citrus, complemented by mellow, balanced acidity and a smooth mouthfeel. This coffee showcases the regional uniqueness of Huehuetenango’s microclimates, with its volcanic soils, high altitude and dedication of its producers contributing to its incredible taste.

Whether you are savouring it black or pairing it with milk, Huehuetenango Waykan offers a truly versatile and satisfying coffee experience. It’s a beautiful representation of the care, skill, and tradition of Guatemalan coffee farming.

SIP, FLAVOUR, REAPEAT!

Our coffee roasting adventure began in 2021 when we decided to “roast it ourselves” for the Bulgarian AeroPress Championship. What started with a ROEST sample roaster quickly turned into something much more serious (and much more delicious). By 2024, we leveled up to the Stronghold S7 Pro because if we’re going to do magic, we might as well have the best wand in the game.

Every coffee in our selection has to pass the ultimate “Wow!” test at the cupping table and win at least 2 out of 3 votes from our team. No vote? No chance. Our head roaster, Hristo, is the mastermind behind every batch - a perfectionist who won’t rest until the cup feels like pure magic. And since we believe every cup can be better, every customer becomes a tester whose feedback we’re eager to hear. It’s how we keep getting better, one roast at a time.
