Take a bite of a CANDYBAR. Primavera Family from the Prague-based roastery Candycane Coffee is a sweet espresso with notes of plum jam, caramel, and 70% chocolate. It’s a classic profile without any unnecessary frills. The roastery uses the CANDYBAR label for the most consistent, candy-like coffee in its lineup, so you can be sure every cup will taste just as good. It’s perfect for both espresso and cappuccino, and anyone who loves a classic chocolate flavor will appreciate it.
Primavera Family is a regional blend of microlots from the Huehuetenango region in Guatemala, sourced by Primavera Coffee Importers. Its purpose is to help farmers during periods of poor harvests so they can sell their coffee for a fair price and survive until the next harvest. Primavera works closely with farmers, giving them the opportunity to earn a better income that they can reinvest in their farms and technology. It is also constantly working to improve coffee quality—and, consequently, purchase prices. Primavera focuses on development and sustainability, supporting and educating small and medium-sized farmers, which is why their production is of such high quality. Farmers are fairly compensated for their work and are not afraid to invest in new technologies. Coffee trees of the Caturra, Catuai, and Bourbon varieties grow at an elevation of 1, 650 meters above sea level.
The coffee cherries underwent the classic washed processing method. In this method, farmers hull the cherries, allow the beans to ferment, and then thoroughly wash and dry them. The washed process gives the coffee a clean and clear profile, allowing notes of sweet jam, caramel, and chocolate to shine through without any distracting flavors. This is a new harvest from 2026 with a cupping score of 86 points.
