Flavour profile & Process

After careful handpicking, cherries undergo a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks, enhancing body and fruity complexity. They are then dried on patios for 20 days. For the first week, cherries are turned hourly and hand-sorted to remove any defects. From day 8 to 20, they're stirred every 4 hours and shaded with tarps to prevent over-fermentation, a crucial step to preserve Huehuetenango’s signature clarity and elegance.

Sourcing with Care

The endless pursuit of great coffee

El Sendero sits deep in the valley of La Libertad, shielded by towering dark cliffs, the “black rocks” that give this lot its name, Piedra Negra. These natural walls create a warm, humid microclimate that allows for ideal coffee maturation, with 7 to 10 hours of sunlight daily and abundant natural water sources flowing around the farm.

Coffees here grow under a canopy of native vegetation, including banana trees and the Guatemalan Chalum (Inga) tree. Only two varietals are cultivated: Caturra and Bourbon, in both red and yellow forms, as a nod to tradition and quality.

The Making of Great Taste

All about Boo Modern Coffee

Boo! launched their roastery in 2024 in Brussels (Anderlecht), inside the COOP building — a refurbished former factory designed to support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises. From the beginning, their mission was clear: to showcase what they believe Modern Coffee should be.

For Boo!, that means making both their brand and their coffee as approachable and inclusive as possible. They believe that in order to grow the specialty coffee industry, a shift in how it's typically presented is essential — moving away from exclusivity and toward openness.

Equally important to them is how they source their coffee. Boo! aims to work directly with producers whenever possible, minimizing intermediaries in the supply chain. Transparency and long-term relationships are at the heart of how they operate.

They’ve built Boo! on these core values, with a commitment to continually making the specialty coffee world a better, more accessible place.

That’s why we’ve chosen to work with them — because they’re not only focused on quality, but also on building a coffee culture that’s fair, inclusive, and forward-thinking.
