Rust + Roam, Brazil and Guatemala

The Origin Story

Rust + Roam bridges two very different coffee traditions. In Guatemala’s Antigua region, family-owned farms have been hand-picking Bourbon and Caturra cherries for generations, perfecting washed processing methods on shaded volcanic slopes. In Brazil’s Cerrado and Sul de Minas regions, producers like the Gabarra family combine large-scale cultivation with sustainable practices, preserving forests and rehabilitating wildlife while producing naturally sweet coffees.

This blend traces a journey from Antigua’s dramatic volcanic valleys — ringed by Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango — to Brazil’s expansive red-soil plateaus and rolling hills. Guatemala’s cool mountain nights produce dense, lively coffees, while Brazil’s steady climate and lower altitudes create soft-bodied, nutty beans. Together, these landscapes yield a blend that’s as grounded as it is adventurous.

Rust + Roam is designed to balance two worlds: Guatemala contributes gentle acidity and cocoa depth, while Brazil brings nut sweetness and a smooth backbone. It’s crafted for coffee drinkers who crave harmony — neither too bright nor too heavy — a companion for those who wander between bold and mellow.

Velho Camino - 250g / Wholebean

Just the smell when I opened the bag had me drooling, and the finished cup was the most delicious coffee I have had in years, and certainly the best I've ever made at home.

Vale Roam - 250g / Filter

I'm on my second single origin purchase now and they have both been delicious. Aeropress grind has been spot on, but I will probably get whole beans next so I have more options in grinding myself. Overall, amazing coffee, quick delivery and I can highly recommend.
