Our Coffee

At Seven Stars, the majority of the coffee we serve is from Finca El Carmen, grown in the Sierra de las Minas region of Guatemala. Named for its many jade mines, Sierra de las Minas is unique because its prevailing mountain range is spread east to west, which helps to keep the climate on both sides of the peaks comparable, unlike a north-south range, which would divert the seaborne winds. Organic agriculture is used in this area which helps environmental and social sustainability for the region. In partnership with our roaster, we strive to form a relationship between the coffee we serve and the people who grow and harvest the coffee.

Once hand-picked and processed in Guatemala, El Carmen is imported to the United States and roasted by hand by New Harvest Coffee Roasters, just steps away from our own production bakery in the Hope Artiste Village.

El Carmen is the major player in our drip coffee blend, roasted two ways and blended with our long-standing Mesa de los Santos Colombian offering. Our drip coffee is made in small batches, freshly brewed every 30 minutes, and presents an excellent full body and a soft cocoa finish. El Carmen is the sole component in our espresso, and presents itself with a bright citrus open, quiet stone fruit around the edges, and a floral explosion, especially in the final sip.
