Story

Triangle Accent

This is one of the most consistent coffees we purchase every year, going on 8 years now. Maybe it's the volcanic soil, or it's the careful hand picking, the elevation or the selective sorting, or a combination of them all. We can't get enough of it, we just love it.

Hunapu is the native Mayan name for the Agua Volcano that looms over the Antigua highlands. Luis Pedro Zelaya Zemora purchases only 100% bourbon from small farmers who grow on 1-5 acre parcels clinging to the side of this volcano. Zelaya's mill, Bella Vista, processes only the ripest red bourbon cherries. Lots are created through combining top quality day-lots from multiple producers . This method of combing lots creates some very complex profiles.

Purchasing Guatemala Hunapu coffee for sale supports smaller farmers that otherwise don't produce enough coffee to find customers to sell to directly. It is delicious, with a focused dark chocolate sweetness, sweet fruit punch undertones and a pleasing orange acidity. Please enjoy this fresh harvest coffee, we'll be drinking this all summer.

Story:

Kuma means bear in Japanese. The founder of the company spent time in Japan before moving back to the states and adopting a big shaggy dog that looked like a bear, so they named it Kuma. Years later came the coffee company and they named it after their dog.

Kuma Coffee started as a guy roasting coffee in his garage in Seattle, Washington. A guy with a passion to find coffee that tasted excellent, roast it very carefully, and get that coffee into people's hands. It was not about how shiny the package was, it was about how delicious the coffee inside it tasted.

    this Guatemalan roast is wonderfully balanced between a smooth mouthfeel with hints of cream and a hint of toffee. I have not tasted too much of the caramel candy apple, but maybe a different brewing method would work well.
