ABOUT
The secret to this blend’s sweet nature lies in the origins of the beans & the roaster’s craft of gradually developing the coffee’s natural sugars during the maillard reaction, until the ‘sweet spot’ is found. Gently the Killerbee roasts, sweetly it strikes.
TASTE
Honey, tropical fruit sweetness & creamy body.

REGION SPOTLIGHT ON: JALAPA, GUATEMALA
The story behind this coffee is sweet in more ways than one. It hails from Santa Elena Estate located in Mataquescuintla, Department of Jalapa, famous for producing award winning coffees. This verdant estate is alive with an array of coffee varieties (Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra & San Ramon) & shaded by lush indigenous trees. There, eco-pulpers are used (conserving a lot of water compared with traditional processing methods) & the coffee is sundried on patios at the foot of the nearby volcano, Jumay. Let this nectar flow like lava into your cup.
