Guatemala | Finca Pampojilá

What this coffee feels like? 

You’re 12 and your aunt came to visit bearing gifts. This means you just opened a box of Haribo gummies for the first time in your life. And that pineapple and raspberry hit you like never before. Before you know it the bag is empty and you’re craving for more!

Finca Pampojilá is a historic farm in Guatemala that was founded in the 1850s by Manuel and Monica Diaz. This farm has won many national awards throughout its history. In 2010 the farm was damaged by tropical storm Agatha, and sold from the Diaz family to the organization Agropecuaria Atitlán. This event provided an opportunity for rejuvenation of the farm, including planting new varieties and building infrastructure to support new innovative processing techniques. The farm is thriving now. Finca Pampojila is a member of the Association of Private Natural Reserves of Guatemala. 50% of the farm area is committed to remaining in its natural state as tropical forest.

Atitlan is a geographically diverse area, contributing to the citrus acidity and deep chocolate flavors of the coffees produced in this region. 90% of the coffees in this area are grown on the volcanic slopes surrounding Lake Atitlan. Winds blow across the cool waters, the rain is plentiful, and the soil is rich, all contributing factors to the varying microclimates and cup profiles from this area. 

Ruiru 11 is a hybrid cross of types including N39, SL-28, SL-34, Bourbon, Rume Sudan, Timor Hybrid, and others, developed in Kenya and released in 1985. It brings a lot to the table when it comes to flavour.

This coffee has very fruity and medium bodied profile. Intense sweetness is combined with flavours of pineapple, haribo gummies, raspberry and forest fruit. It’s best suited for filter or immersion methods although it will yield a punchy fruit bomb as an espresso as well.
