about
Guatemala Hunchouen - Spaceboy Coffee
A new citrussy and sweet Guatemalan coffee from Spaceboy, the perfect versatile brew. Bright orange flavour is supported by caramel body and toasty hazelnuts for a cup that works beautifully with both espresso and filter coffee brewing methods.
These coffee beans have been sourced by Javier at Caribbean Goods, a coffee importer based in Glasgow and born in Guatemala. This washed lot, Finca Hunbatz, was grown by around 550 small producers in Tajumaco, Huehuetenango, all of whom process their coffee themselves and dry it on the roofs of their homes.
Hunchouen takes its name from the Maya howler monkey deity of the same name. The myth goes that Hunchouen and his brother Hunbatz, both talented artists, climbed a tree that grew so tall they turned to monkeys.
All businesses are projects, but Spaceboy has been a PROJECT for founder and award winning roaster Finn Mclean. The roasting machine at Edinburgh based Spaceboy has been crowdfunded and carefully hand-built over the last two years, completely custom designed to give the team an unmatched level of roasting flexibility. Finn's experimental approach is reflected in his coffees, fun, funky and a bit wild - all things we can get behind. After sourcing the best quality green beans, the perfect roast-profile is tested to achieve the best representation of the coffee’s profile, which can be replicated with incredible accuracy. With no desire to open a coffee shop of their own, all the focus for Spaceboy is on roasting up the good stuff, supplying cafés and people like us with expertly roasted coffee beans.
