Guatemala El Injerto Red Cat Single Origin Espresso

(1)

For the past seven years we have had the honor to purchase Red Catuaí variety coffee from the award-winning Finca El Injerto.

After tasting this year's lot we decided to feature Red Cat as a single origin espresso. It's silky balance and sweetness produce an espresso shot that tastes great with milk or on its own.

Origin Story

Arturo Aguirre

El Injerto is one of the most celebrated coffee farms in Guatemala. It continues to be a leader in national tasting competitions, having placed in the finals of Cup of Excellence over a dozen times, amassing a stunning seven first-place awards!

We are happy to continue our partnership with El Injerto and the Aguirre family. We started by offering an assortment of coffees, purchased primarily through El Injerto’s annual auction. Now, for the ninth year in a row, we are offering their Red Catuaí variety coffee (Red Cat for short), purchased directly from the farm.

Why We Love This Coffee

After tasting this year’s lot, we decided to feature Red Cat as a single-origin espresso. Its balance and sweetness produce an espresso shot that tastes great with milk or on its own.

While many variables contribute to dialing in espresso, here are the parameters that have been yielding the best results in our lab:

1:2.15 coffee to water ratio in 26 seconds.

Sustainably Sourced

Good Coffee, Better Planet

The level of quality and consistency the coffee from El Injerto exhibits is nothing short of amazing. Coffee pickers are paid well and provided housing, food, and recreation areas on the farm, encouraging many to return each harvest season. In exchange, El Injerto retains experienced pickers familiar with their high standards and expectations.

Sustainability by the numbers:

- The Aguirre family installed a hydroelectric power plant that covers all of the farm’s electricity needs and then some. Any surplus electricity is sold to the Guatemalan government.
- El Injerto is Rainforest Alliance certified - 65% of the almost 1,800-acre farm is a rainforest preserve.
- Coffee parchment leftover from dry milling is used to fuel their mechanical dryers.
- Coffee cherries leftover from wet milling is used for compost.
