Meet your roaster
We are so excited to collaborate with World Barista Champion, Raul Rodas, to custom roast your coffee for this series.
Raul is a roaster, green buyer, and owner of Paradigma Roasters 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 washed processed 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.
Why roast at origin?
Fijo collaborates with roasters at origin to craft coffee in small batches.
We feature coffees that are uniquely reflective of each region. Without middlemen, this model ensures 3x more profits stay with coffee growing countries.
We’re building a more equitable model that focuses on the profits and talents at origin.
