Coffee Description
Simple and warming, this Guatemalan sweetly balances jasmine and clove notes with cocoa nib and dried cherries. Super clean and fruity, notes of toast and pear play with vanilla and dark chocolate. A balanced cup, it offers a long, sweet finish reminiscent of raspberry chocolates.

About Yolanda Golino of Guatemala
This coffee comes from El Mirador Finca El Rincon in La Libertad, Huehuehtenango, one of the world's premier coffee growing regions and has been managed by the Molina family for over fifty years. It was Robert Molina who first planted bourbon trees on the property in 1968, and since his death in 2011, his wife Yolanda Golindo continues to grow great coffee on their 25 hectares of clay loam. Due to the remoteness of Finca El Rincon, their coffee is washed on site and patio dried.
Yolanda’s producer, Renardo Ovalle, is renowned in the world of specialty coffee, garnering numerous Cup of Excellence prizes and give back to the community, including a kindergarten and school for workers’ children, balanced meals and higher wages than many other areas.

Upper Left Roasters
In the summer of 2015, Katherine Harris opened Upper Left Roasters in historic Ladd's Addition. As the daughter of Portland food and beverage veterans, Katherine was driven to create not just another cafe but a vibrant community hub. In collaboration with local makers and creatives our thoughtfully designed space came to life — serving a fresh, curated food menu paired with distinctive small-batch roasts. From the literal cornerstone of our neighborhood, our team aims to create an energetic and lively space not just within our SE Portland community but in the industry at large.
We take that same ethos of community-based experience to all the coffees we serve. From house blends to unique micro-lots, we aim to represent the authentic flavor, origin and journey in every roast. Our coffees and the people who create them—from seed to cup—make it all possible. We focus on putting people first and invite our partners & patrons to join us in doing the same - supporting and celebrating community through coffee.
