Ixlama comes to us from the Huehuetenango region in Guatemala. Small producers in the Highlands of San Pedro Necta and La Libertad hand-pick the ripest cherries and bring them to the Ixlama mill. The cherries are sorted for quality before being placed on “Guardiola” or coffee driers. They are then sorted by color using a computer and separated by size mechanically. The result is a clean, bright cup that’s super drinkable. Look for citrus and berry flavors and a sweet, sugary finish.
We recommend letting fresh coffee rest to allow the beans to stabilize. This will result in a sweeter, more expressive cup. We rest washed coffees 5–10 days, naturals 10–15 days, and experimentals 15–30 days.
