Meet your roaster at origin
We are so excited to collaborate with World Barista Champion, Raul Rodas, to custom roast your coffee for this series.
Raul is a green buyer and owner/roaster of Paradigma Coffee in Guatemala. His approach to coffee is unique, involving regional small lot producers directly in the design, cultivation, and processing of each coffee.
His coffees push beyond the full-bodied, chocolate character that has traditionally marked Guatemalan coffees and explore a fresh range of flavor profiles through natural process and fermentation.
Raul won the World Barista Championship in Vienna in 2012 and a three-time winner of Guatemala’s Brewer’s Cup.
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.
