"VERGAL" [2022]
Located in the mountains outside of Quetzaltenango in Guatemala, “VERGAL” is produced by FECCEG, a non-profit organization that helps small farmers overcome the challenges of the international coffee market. In 2017 we were lucky enough to visit the El Vergel farm to witness firsthand the good work of FECCEG AND the lengths that their farming partners go to to ensure their coffee is of the highest quality. Ripe cherries are carefully selected for picking before being hulled onsite, AND allowed to ferment for 12-16 hours before being washed AND moved to raised drying beds. This extended fermentation is what gives “ VERGAL” its depth of flavour AND clean yet complex character. In the cup you can expect a clean acidity AND flavours of “apple strudel, vanilla AND walnut” , before leading into a pleasant AND lingering finish down to the very last sip.This coffee was imported by our good friends Tony AND Celina from First Crop Coffee, who have been partnering with El Vergel for over six years. This label is an opportunity to pay homage to a massive creative influence. VIRGIL ABLOH had a dramatic impact on the creative world. His impact, creatively AND socially, will continue to be recognised for decades to come. We are huge fans of everything VIRGIL. “RIP LEGEND”.
