Microraptor Arlam Aguirre Gesha, El Aguacate, Guatemala - 150g coffee
About this Product
Floral, Silky, Luminous
A Rare Flight of Stillness
Arlam Aguirre is the newest coffee to join the Mythic class of Roastersaurus, the rarest and most refined of them all. Mythics are coffees that exist only once, never the same again. They are delicate, fleeting, and luminous. Grown at 1,750 masl in the highlands of Huehuetenango, Guatemala, this Gesha from producer Arlam Aguirre moves with quiet grace. Though fully washed, it carries a honey-like texture that defies expectation, a reminder that even the purest forms can blur their own boundaries.
Guatemalan Gesha in a New Moment
Gesha from Guatemala has entered an exciting new phase. Early lots showed hints of florality and sweetness. More recent expressions, including this one, have become elegant, silky, and naturally sweet without relying on fermentation for intensity. Arlam’s Gesha expresses variety through terroir rather than force, unfolding with clarity, perfume, and a smooth, honey-like texture distinctive to Huehuetenango.
About the Producer
Arlam Aguirre and his partner Yoesmi are members of ASIAST, a smallholder cooperative in San Antonio Huista dedicated to ecological and sustainable farming. Arlam, an agronomical engineer and former Anacafé technician, brings deep technical skill to his craft. Together with his brother Klisman, who manages processing and drying, he cultivates coffees that balance biodiversity, community, and clarity in the cup.
About the Coffee
This Gesha lot was grown at El Aguacate, Arlam’s farm in Agua Dulce, Huehuetenango. The coffee is handpicked in just two passes, selecting only ripe and overripe cherries for concentrated sweetness and even development. It shows the purity of a washed coffee with the lush texture of a honey, silky, sweet, and elegant. Each layer moves in harmony, unfolding with poise and calm precision.
The Process
Only ripe and overripe cherries are harvested, floated, and pulped on the same day. The coffee is dry fermented for two days in roofed open tanks, then double washed to remove mucilage. It is soaked in clean water for 24 hours before drying on raised African beds for up to ten days. This combination of extended washing and slow drying creates clarity without losing texture, the serene balance at the heart of its Mythic flight.
Cup Character
Floral, silky, luminous.
Peach, jasmine, and bergamot glide through orange blossom and lemongrass, anchored by milk oolong body and a smooth, lingering aftertaste. Creamy and bright, sweet yet composed, a coffee that moves like still water and glows like air.
