Origin Roasted Series
Untold Coffee
This month’s coffee
El Líbano Geisha Washed 11/43367345
Something a little different this month.
Due to ongoing customs restrictions, several shipments of our origin-roasted coffees from Guatemala were held indefinitely in transit by UPS. Rather than pause the story, we adapted — bringing you this Geisha roasted by Untold Coffee Lab in Rochester, New York, one of Raúl Rodas’ trusted collaborators.
This coffee was sourced by Raúl and his network of producers at origin, then roasted by Untold Coffee Lab and Danilo Lodi, who coached Raúl to a World Barista Championship in 2012. It’s a reminder of how interconnected coffee really is — and how resilience 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.
