Imagine the taste of apples slowly caramelized. In the flavor of Sisterhood coffee, you’ll find precisely this nostalgic combination of sweet apple and velvety caramel. The Prague-based roastery Tribes of Mokha describes Sisterhood as a sweet and comforting espresso with a creamy body and low acidity. The flavor profile blends red apple with caramel and pralines, resulting in a cup that’s well-rounded, balanced, and distinctly sweet. It’s a coffee for anyone who prefers a gentle fruitiness, chocolatey-nutty notes, and a smooth character in their espresso.
The name “Sisterhood” refers to the group of women who grow this coffee and whose lots are blended together in it. The coffee comes from the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala, specifically from the area around San Antonio Huista, where coffee trees grow at an elevation of approximately 1,550 to 1,650 meters above sea level. This is not a single-farm coffee, but a regional blend composed exclusively of coffee from small-scale female farmers who harvest and process their crops themselves on their own farms. The individual lots are then selected and blended by Primavera Coffee, which has a long-standing partnership with the women in the region. The women producers receive a financial bonus for their coffee, and a portion of the proceeds from Sisterhood sales goes toward workshops focused on agronomy, coffee processing, and farm management.
The coffee beans underwent washed processing, in which the skin and most of the pulp are removed from the cherries after harvest. The beans then undergo fermentation, during which the remaining layer of pulp is released; they are then washed with clean water and finally dried to the desired moisture content. This processing method typically results in a cleaner and more balanced flavor profile, which, in the case of Sisterhood, complements its delicate, sweet character well.
