Coffee Description
Cherry syrup, cola, and fig aromas sashay into flavor notes of apple with a side of chocolate-dipped caramel. Throw in a hint of cinnamon and rootbeer, add sweet acidity and silky body for an easy to brew, easy to sip classic cup of Guatemalan coffee.

About Chapina Blend of Guatemala
Renowned for its high-grown coffee from farmer cooperatives and large farm lots, Guatemala produces coffees rich with hints of chocolate and fruit, with a moderate, refined acidity. In order to represent Guatemalan coffees consistently throughout the year, Upper Left has created an all-Guatemalan blend, Chapina.
Chapina is continually tweaked to include what is best and available from Guatemala at any given time, anchored by coffees from the Huehuetenango region. The resulting blend is pleasantly structured and lends itself with equal brilliance to a wide range of brewing methods including espresso, french press, or cold brew.

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.
