Started in 2006, the project brings together small producers farming between 1 and 5 hectares, supported by ongoing agronomy visits to keep improving quality harvest after harve Source: hibikaffe.no (roaster’s own copy).

Citrus, floral

This is a natural processed lot from Los Chelazos in El Salvador's Chalatenango highlands. You can find a papaya-like tropical fruit character balanced by a syrupy caramel sweetness. It works well both as an espresso and a classic filter. The name Los Chelazos comes from a local nickname for people from Chalatenango, a northern district of El Salvador bordering Honduras. The lot is a blend of coffees grown across the Citalá and La Palma cantons, both part of the Montecristo Trifinio — a tri-border biosphere reserve shared by El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.  Source: hibikaffe.no (roaster’s own copy).

Papaya, caramel

This one is for someone looking for more classic flavours in the cup. You will find milk chocolate sweetness, a rounded mouthfeel, and fruity notes like yellow plum. It's a good choice for breakfast. “Los Luchadores”, which is Spanish for “the fighters”, is a tribute to the hard work and effort the team puts together to achieve such a stunning coffee. These Pacamara cherries come from two of the farms the Salaverria family owns, Villa Guadalupe & San Francisco. These cherries grow at altitudes of 1400-1650 masl, on sandy loam soils. The annual rainfall is 3,000mm and the harvest. Source: hibikaffe.no (roaster’s own copy).

This cup has a sweetness like honey and gentle white floral notes. It's a washed Geisha from La Joya, in Guatemala's Chimaltenango region, into the spotlight. It's delicate and complex, and works great as a filter coffee. This lot was grown by Elida Reyes Orrego in San Martín Jilotepeque, Chimaltenango, where coffee is farmed alongside staple crops like corn and beans on small plots, often under the shade of native oak trees. The region's cool, temperate climate gives its coffees a naturally vibrant, fruity character.
