roast dateNo bag-specific roast date is available.
cultivar proportionsBourbon and Caturra are listed without proportions.

From the producer

Transcafe coordinates and mills coffee contributed by more than 100 family producers in San Pedro Necta and La Libertad. The official page does not identify each contributing farm or grower.

From the roaster

Methodical currently lists chocolate, apple, and caramel for Guatemala Ixlama. The Dose catalog entry is $21 for 12 oz, while the standard Ixlama page is a separate current listing.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A community-produced Huehuetenango field blend with a documented elevation range and an unusually clear drying sequence: cement patios followed by guardiola finishing.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Shade-grown and harvested

The official page describes coffee contributed by more than 100 family producers in San Pedro Necta and La Libertad.

Carefully sorted and washed

Methodical identifies careful sorting and washed processing; the exact fermentation protocol is not published.

Milled at Caserio Teogal

Transcafe’s Caserio Teogal facility in San Martin handles the lot.

Patio-dried and guardiola-finished

The coffee was sun-dried on cement patios, then finished in guardiolas.

What was added?

No fruit, flavorings, or fermentation inoculants are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

The published process is a traditional washed method, not a fruit co-ferment or post-roast flavoring.

Why it matters

Washing supports a clean profile, while patio drying followed by guardiola finishing provides a controlled route to the target moisture level.

What you might taste

Methodical lists chocolate, apple, and caramel.
