Manos de Mujer Axola, Guatemala

Manos de Mujer Axola, Guatemala - Norma

A beautifully balanced coffee from Norma that showcases the important work of women in the Guatemalan coffee industry. Con Manos de Mujer translates to ‘With a Woman's Hands’ and comes from the 43 women producers of the A’xola cooperative in Huehuetenango.

Founded in 1989, A’xola is largely made up of farmers with indigenous Mayan heritage in the community of Petatan and was set up to improve the quality of life of its members and their families while selling high quality coffee. Every harvest, the women of A’xola combine their coffee and market it together with the aim of highlighting the issues of domestic violence, access to education and leadership that women face.

This washed coffee is classic Huehuetenango: sweet and chocolatey enough for a comforting espresso but also offering plenty of clarity with notes of white grape and melon when brewed with filter methods.

Norma is a small contemporary coffee roastery in Devon working with underrepresented growers to produce a more ‘analogue’ side of coffee. Authentic, small supply chains, organic where possible, in touch with nature both on producer farms and in their own surroundings.

After more than a decade working for some of the best roasters in the country, Lauren and Joe left their past coffee lives on industrial estates for (literal) greener pastures,  settling into their new roastery based in a barn on the edge of Dartmoor.
