Guatemala & Honduras

Our Broadway Blend emphasises closer farm and import relationships with many of the same coffees selected each year for their unique representations of origin and terroir. The focus is on high quality, sustainable and complimentary coffees with the blend evolving with fresh harvest arrivals. This is our go-to espresso on Broadway Market and pairs perfectly with milk.

For our neighbourhood's festive blend we are working with two of our favourite coffees produced by communities equally focused on quality and sustainability.

The return of La Esperanza is an annual highlight with the Huehuetenango region bringing some of our favourite Guatemalan coffees. The higher altitude brings cooler evening climates which affects a slower maturation of coffee cherries. This weather also extends the required drying time for processed coffee allowing complex flavours to develop as well as adding to the green coffee's longevity. Finca La Esperanza is a perfect example of this with producer Aurelio Villatoro now overseeing the farm his father founded in 1953. Their vibrant washed coffees are picked and processed at a deep red ripeness with an attention to detail that is evident with the crisp and clean flavour profile.

Another long-term Central American favourite of ours comes from our Honduran partners at the COMSA Cooperative. COMSA (Café Orgánico Marcala) is a growing collective of neighbouring farmers set in Marcala, La Paz. Starting in 2001 with 69 local producers they have set out to improve their communities coffee and livelihoods through sustainable organic production. Now they represent over 1,200 members and provide training in organic farm regeneration, water management and wildlife conservation. The improved quality and prices continue to motivate producing families and act as a beacon of inspiration as to the long-term sustainability of organic specialty practices.
