Monthly Coffee Tastings with Raul Rodas
This month’s coffee
El Líbano Geisha Washed 11/43367345
We often describe coffee as one big global experiment grounded in community.
This Geisha is a perfect example. Raúl Rodas discovered this lot with producer, Herbert Perez in the Acatenango Valley. He then collaborated with his mentor and expert roaster, Danilo Lodi of Untold Coffee Lab to roast it.
The coffee has a marked lime-like acidity with a a cherry-forward body and a sugarcane sweetness to finish. Super drinkable with espresso, filter or even with milk.
Danilo coached Raúl to a World Barista Championship in 2012 and Boram Um in 2023. It’s a reminder of how interconnected coffee really is — and how craft in this industry often looks like collaboration.

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.
