Finca Santa Margarita is the family farm of one of our trading partners, Camila Topke, and is operated in large part by women. I visited Guatemala in May with Camila and learned firsthand the challenges that producers in Guatemala are facing.The farm was founded in 1838 by Thomas Wyld (Camila’s great grandfather) and has been in the family or four generations. Today, the farm is 2,320 hectares - 812 of which are coffee farm, with Caturra, Sarchimor, Catimor, and Geisha varieties, and the rest of which is natural forest land devoted to the promotion of natural species and wildlife biodiversity.
Cupping notes: Milk chocolate, light citrus, caramel, brown sugar, honey; bright acidity.

Usually a sumatra lover but like to try new beans, this fit the profile so we tried it. Roasted to the start of the second crack and really like it. Might just replace the sumatra in the roaster permantly. This is the only coffee roaster that will ship to alaska at a decent price, they have my business from now on.

Duane Hershberger Great coffee, I've been buying from Coffee Bean Corral for about a year with great experiences.

I just started purchasing coffee from CBC and I love everything about them so far. They are a quality supplier and run a quality business. I have roasted 6 of their coffees and this is my favorite thus far. I roasted it about 30 seconds past the end of the 1st crack and the flavor is everything that they said it was supposed to be. I love CBC and their coffees!

Just roasted up a batch of this coffee. Definitely one of my favs so far. I'm a newbie roaster and have tried about 15 different beans. This one is very good! Roasted it to a nice medium/dark past first crack. Let the beans rest for two days. It's a lovely cup! Chocolatey, fruity, with a lemon kicker. I really like this bean!

Would definitely recommend this for filter coffee. Roasted them on the behmor low and slow. 1 min in first crack then drop. You get all the notes described.
