More About Guatemala Santa Felisa Yellow Catuai

Our newest release comes to us from woman-owned farm, Santa Felisa in Guatemala. The cupping notes of Granny Smith Apple and apricot of this Yellow Catuai varietal sing through a perfect balance of sweetness, light spice and acidity. 

Established in 1904, Santa Felisa farm is now run by the fourth generation siblings under the guidance of the visionary agronomist, ecologist & Q-Grader Anabella Meneses. Anabella and her brother Antonio are multiple-time Cup of Excellence® winners, including first place for Guatemala in 2017. Anabella has a Master's Degree in Agronomy which probably influences the incredibly interesting post-harvest processing techniques she uses. The processing takes her coffees to the next level.

Jeff Babcock (Zoka Founder/CEO) first met Anabella through a friend in the coffee world. Since then, he's visited her farm numerous times. And applauded her through Santa Felisa's Cup of Excellence® wins. The cupping table at Santa Felisa Farm is one of Jeff's favorite places.
