Maria Gaspar, Guatemala - Exemplar

A Guatemalan coffee bursting with fruit flavour amongst a cup of clean, tea-like complexity. These single-origin coffee beans come from second-generation farmer Maria Gaspar, who grows coffee in Huehuetenango.

Belfast-based roaster Exemplar selected this washed coffee as a great example of the strong regional identity at play in Guatemala’s coffee industry. Farmers in the highland state of Huehuetenango pride themselves on achieving seriously complex coffees, using coffee cherries that ripen slowly in altitudes up to 2000MASL. Like the vast majority of farmers in these remote mountains, Maria Gaspar meticulously manages her own farm and mill, processing all her own coffee and working with export partners like Primavera who support the female workforce behind the coffee industry in the region.

The layers of flavour at play here work brilliantly for pour over brewing, we recommend trying this one with a Kalita.

Previous issues have focused on industry trends like varietals, processing and altitude and spotlighted countries like Brazil and India that speak to the constantly expanding world of coffee. We’re super excited to have contributed to Exemplar’s latest magazine that shines a light on blends!
