We’re proud to introduce Guatemala Javier Martinez, a vibrant washed lot from Huehuetenango. Grown under the care of Javier Martinez at his farm in Peña Roja, this coffee is a stellar example of clarity and structure — bright, crisp, and packed with tropical fruit character. With tasting notes of pineapple, nectarine, lime and honey, it’s a deliciously moreish cup we know our community will love.

Javier Martinez brings precision and passion to his work, drawing from family traditions and a deep understanding of his land. Nestled at 1,750 MASL in Peña Roja, his farm benefits from rich volcanic soils and shade trees like Gravillea and Chalúm, which improve biodiversity and reduce the need for fertilisers.
Javier manages a combined 24 hectares — his own land and that of his mother, Porfiria, who taught him the craft. His approach to coffee is grounded in sustainability and quality. Ripe cherries are depulped the same day they’re picked, then fermented for 24 hours in covered concrete tanks. A second soak under water for 12 hours helps to complete fermentation, reduce mucilage, and maintain cool temperatures.
The result? A remarkably clean and balanced cup with standout fruit clarity. After fermentation, coffee is density-sorted through washing channels before being dried on patios — 8–10 days for early harvests, and 2–3 days during peak season under Huehue’s intense April sun.
Behind the scenes, Javier keeps a tight, consistent workflow with three fermentation tanks in rotation. He’s equally mindful of the environment: wastewater, including the highly saturated “honey waters,” is collected in sealed pits and treated responsibly.
This is the kind of coffee that reminds us why we love what we do — a producer-led story of quality, care and flavour, from the highlands of Guatemala to your cup.
