Xalum Sweet Collection ripe stone fruit, big body, milk chocolate, long lingering sweetness **Producer** Christian Starry **Region** Amatitlán, Guatemala **Elevation** 1400 - 1500 meters **Process** Fully Washed & Patio Dried **Variety** Red & Yellow Bourbon, Typica **Harvest** November 2016 - April 2017 **Storage** GrainPro™ **Relationship** Fifth Year Direct Trade The 2016-2017 harvest marked a turning point for Xalum -- if you haven't followed the story, read up on the history on last years report. For the last four years coffee from Xalum was being wet milled at another farm. This isn't unusual -- a wet mill is a significant expense, so many coffee producers work with someone else who was a mill with extra capacity to process their coffee. This year Christian & family built their own wet mill after many years of planning. By being able to mill their own coffee, they are able to have better control over quality. We always believed in Christian's potential to produce very high quality coffee, and taking control of the processing of cherry and drying helped further fulfill that potential. Having control of the milling process also makes it possible to do further lot separation. This year we have a small lot we're calling Xalum Sweet Collection. One of the most interesting parts of Xalum is Christian’s work on mapping cherry sweetness; using a brix meter, he sampled cherries from around the whole farm measuring sugar content. One particular area of the farm stood out as having notably sweeter coffee cherry. This microlot represents a picking solely from this plot, located in the middle of the farm. - Origin: Amatitlan, Guatemala - Processing: Washed - Varieties: Yellow Bourbon, Red Bourbon, Typica - Roast: Light-medium roast - Tasting notes: Milk chocolate, Stone fruits, Sweet - Altitude: 1400–1500 meters - Harvest: 11–4 ## Prices [barismo coffee](http://www.barismo.com/xalum-sweet-collection) ## Ratings 0/5 (0) ## Estimated taste profile (0–100) - acidity: 66 - bitterness: 34 - body: 90 - character: 5 - sweetness: 67 ## Similar coffees ### [Little Waves Coffee Roasters — Atitlán - Washed - Guatemala](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/little-waves-coffee-roasters/atitlan-washed-guatemala) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $23.52 / 12 oz ($69.14/kg) — Available - $114.47 / 5 lbs ($50.47/kg) — Available ### [Methodical Coffee — Guatemala, Ixlama](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/methodical-coffee/guatemala-ixlama) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $21.90 / 12 oz ($64.38/kg) — Available - $115.33 / 5 lbs ($50.85/kg) — Available ### [Cafe Origen — Guatemala](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/cafe-origen/guatemala) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed, Sun-dried - $21.99 / 12 oz ($64.64/kg) - $84.99 / 96 oz ($31.23/kg) ### [Kuma Coffee — Guatemala Retana \*New\*](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/kuma-coffee/guatemala-retana-new) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $26.00 / 12 oz ($76.43/kg) — Available - $80.00 / 2.5 lbs ($70.55/kg) — Available ### [Rum Baba — Guatemala](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/rum-baba/guatemala) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $11.79 / 250 gram ($47.16/kg) — Available - $37.73 / 1000 gram ($37.73/kg) — Available ### [Dillanos Coffee Roasters — Guatemala](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/dillanos-coffee-roasters/guatemala) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $17.13 / 12 oz ($50.35/kg) — Available - $107.50 / 5 lbs ($47.40/kg) — Available ### [Appalachian Coffee Roasters — Guatamala \[Medium / Dark Roast\]](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/appalachian-coffee-roasters/guatamala-medium-dark-roast) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $11.95 / 0.5 lbs ($52.69/kg) — Available - $69.95 / 4 lbs ($38.55/kg) — Available ### [FULL CITY ROOSTER — Guatemala](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/full-city-rooster/guatemala) Available - Origin: Guatemala - $20.00 / 12 oz ($58.79/kg) — Available ## More from this roaster ### [barismo coffee — Los Andinos](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/los-andinos) Out of stock - Origin: Colombia - Processing: Washed ### [barismo coffee — Wote Konga](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/wote-konga) Out of stock - Origin: Ethiopia - Processing: Washed, Swiss Water decaf ### [barismo coffee — Tirra Estate](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/tirra-estate) Out of stock - Origin: Costa Rica - Processing: Honey Process ### [barismo coffee — Santa Ana Lot 724](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/santa-ana-lot-724) Out of stock - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed, Sun-dried ### [barismo coffee — Santa Ana Catuai](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/santa-ana-catuai) Out of stock - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed ### [barismo coffee — Santa Ana](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/santa-ana) No longer available ### [barismo coffee — San Pedro](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/san-pedro) No longer available ### [barismo coffee — Gishubi Hill](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/gishubi-hill) No longer available ## Reviews Ratings: 0/5 (0) No public written reviews yet. - [Coffee](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/xalum-sweet-collection.md) - [Similar coffees](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/xalum-sweet-collection/similar.md) - [Reviews](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/xalum-sweet-collection/reviews.md) - [Release history](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/xalum-sweet-collection/releases.md)
