ALREDO RAMIREZ! Remember that name!
We recently brought in our second microlot from our visit to Guatemala last year. This coffee, produced by Alfredo Ramirez, stands out for its creamy body paired with a subtle sweetness.
Ethan and Kenny first cupped this coffee in Antigua, Guatemala, and immediately agreed to bid high to secure a portion of the limited lot. On the cupping table, Kenny noted: “rich body, intense flavor, like this sweetness.” What’s remarkable is that now, back at our roastery in the Hilltop of Columbus, Ohio, Ethan’s profile roast of this coffee has captured those same qualities.
During our visit to the Tectitán region of Huehuetenango, we were hosted by our partners on Mr. Ramirez’s property. We walked among the very trees that produced this coffee, and Mr. Ramirez even welcomed us into his home for lunch.
We encourage you to take a moment to listen to Alfredo speak in the final video (don’t worry, Byron interprets). His passion for his craft and his country is something you won’t want to miss.
We don’t want you to forget his name. And thanks to Timmy at Third Way and his many creative takes on pronouncing Alfredo’s name, we bet you won’t.
Ultimately, we rely on you to support producers like Alfredo around the world by purchasing their coffees that are limited, carefully grown, and deeply cared for.
