Coffee Description
Guatemalan coffees are a big part of our menu every summer and we are pleased to start off the season with the return of La Joya, a lovely and balanced field blend of Caturra, Bourbon and Catuaí varieties that we first roasted last year. The quality of this freshly landed 2026 crop is even better, presenting a medley of tangy yellow and red fruits atop a sugary-sweet base.

About Rudy and Floridalma Castillo of Guatemala
La Joya is a six hectare farm in the Huehuetenango region owned and managed by husband and wife Rudy and Floridalma Castillo. Rudy inherited part of his family’s farm in 1996 and decided to use this plot of land to begin cultivating coffee. While he acknowledges that this was a challenging venture at first, he says “the support of my wife and my family was essential to get to where we are today.” Currently, the Castillos are improving processes at the farm, doing soil analysis and making harvest and post-harvest practices even better - a strategy that focuses on quality and sustainability to ensure a healthy farm business for the future.
