ETHICA - Finca El Tempixque | Guatemala - Washed - Bourbon, Caturra

ETHICA COFFEE ROASTERS is located in Toronto, Canada

From ETHICA

Fourth year of this coffee partnership has landed on our shelf.
Lovely balanced filter coffee pleases with its cocoa sweetness and smooth aftertaste. In the cup, we taste notes of apple and a touch of sugary citrus in the finish: an easy-drinking and enjoyable roast for every day. 

ABOUT Falla Family
The Falla family started growing coffee in the Antigua valley in Guatemala in 1890. The name of the El Tempixque Farm comes from a tree that grows right in front of the farm's gate. Estuardo Falla, the fourth generation of the Falla Family, is leading the family's efforts in coffee since 1992. Estuardo continues the development of El Tempixque focusing on growing mainly bourbon and caturra, with the idea of maintaining the renowned Genuine Antigua cup profile. He's also concentrating on building a team of professionals that ensure the farm will consistently grow in production while always seeking to improve quality.
