Origin Roast Series with
Teco Echeverría
This month’s coffee
Antigua Bourbon
Antigua is one of Guatemala’s most storied coffee-growing regions, where high elevations, volcanic soils, and a cool, dry climate create ideal conditions for coffees with exceptional sweetness, structure, and clarity.
This washed Bourbon blend is a classic expression of the region, with notes of plum, crisp apple, soft caramel, and mandarin, balanced by a bright acidity and lingering sweetness.
Roasted at origin in Guatemala City by José Miguel “Teco” Echeverría, a two-time Guatemalan National Barista Champion, the coffee captures the elegant, balanced character that has made Antigua coffee celebrated around the world.

Meet your roaster at origin
We are honored to feature José Miguel “Teco” Echeverría in this series.
Teco is known for elevating Guatemalan coffee through close collaboration with producers and his dedication to building a vibrant domestic coffee culture. His roasting style highlights clarity, vibrancy, and regional character, bringing out a fresh spectrum of flavors beyond Guatemala’s traditional chocolate-forward profile.
Founder of Teco Coffee House in Guatemala City, Teco began his career at just 16 and trained at Finca El Injerto, the reknowned producer which he calls his “university” of coffee. He is a two-time Guatemala National Barista Champion (2014, 2024) and international competitor.
Coffee designed for equity
We do things a little bit differently in the modern coffee trade. In fact, we don’t trade at all. We partner directly with producers and roasters to craft coffee in small batches - all from origin.
Roasting at origin means you get coffees that are uniquely reflective of each region. Producers and roasters working together to express their craft, varietals, and time-honored growing traditions.
It also means more what you pay stays in coffee producing countries versus typical coffee models that focus on trading green coffee.
