Returning to our menu for the 3rd year in a row, we are excited to share another beautiful coffee from La Familia Vasquez in the Antigua region of Guatemala. Coffee cultivation has always been a family affair for Vasquez, after inheriting the farm from his parents, Juan dedicated his life to farming. The family has been delivering their cherries to the Bella Vista Mill for generations, benefiting from the mill’s programs that offer them year-round access to a licensed agronomist who can offer insight into the best practices for the coffee plant. We are excited for the opportunity to share another incredible, intentionally crafted coffee and support his journey to happiness.

This lot from Familia Vasquez is bright and juicy, with a creamy body and more complexity than we typically find in coffee from Antigua. It opens up with a refreshing pop of fresh mango, and evolves into the pointed acidity and red-toned notes of dried cranberry. The fruit notes are elevated by a complex blend of black tea and creaminess that is reminiscent of Milk Tea, and reflects the medium body of this lovely coffee.
