New P11 Formula 2010-2011

Nature has a big roll in coffee production, every season climatic changes affect the qualities of the coffee bean. Taking advantage of this phenomena we select every year fresh coffee from different Guatemala's regions to make a new design. For this 2010-2011 season we already have our Café and Obscuro formula made from Palencia, Antigua and Huehuetenango coffees. We invite you to taste it.

You can turn any moment into quality time.

Nice way to unwind.

Palencia

Guatemala is a country full of mountains and volcanos, its fertile soil make it ideal to cultivate almost anything. Guatemala is located in the Tropics but its altitude provide a perfect clima all year round, not too warm, not too cool, just an ever green perfect land.
Palencia (in the picture) is a small town about 30km North East from Guatemala City. For our P11 coffee we buy beans from a couple of farms there: El Socorro and San Guayaba.

Spinning The Wheel

Rare Earth hypothesis argues that the emergence of complex multicellular life on Earth required an improbable combination of astrophysical and geological events and circumstances, contrary to this the Principle of Mediocrity concludes that the Earth is a typical rocky planet in a typical planetary system, located in an unexceptional region of a common barred-spiral galaxy, as a consequence it is probable that the universe is full with complex life. But Fermi paradox say: If extraterrestrial aliens are common, why aren't they obvious?
This is the kind of things I would like to talk with a coffee in between.

Bufa Chair

Meant to pay homage to tailored attire, the Bufa features a gray felt seat and back, folded and threaded together with loose-hanging rope, while a colored ribbon adds a discreet touch. View more at shop.gessato.com

Chocolate!

Without doubt, chocolate is one of the best complements of coffee. Try some bits with a sugarless Guatemalan P11 coffee and you will taste the difference.

Cool Morning Ride

After a morning mountain ride at 10ºC in the hills of Santa Catarina Pinula (South East of Guatemala City) I am back home eating my breakfast and ready for a delicious cup of P11.

Designing Coffee

Today we begin to design the P11 formula for the next season. We have tasted several premium coffees to produce the initial formula that will be cupped against other designs in the next days to finally get a winner.

Coffee Forests

Shadow trees and coffee plants provide shelter for birds and many other wild species. The Guatemala's coffee industry through its plantations are helping to stop threatening over green endangered areas. Buying Guatemalan coffee you are lending a hand to keep our world green.

Pete Rivera Trio

I like this unplugged version of the Motown hit from the last century. The voice of drummer Rivera hasn't missed its charm.
