Guatemala – Finca El Socorro Coffee: Wholebean 200g

We’re thrilled to be sharing this exceptional small-batch roast from Hagakure Coffee Roasters, an independent Scottish roastery celebrated for their meticulous sourcing and bold, distinctive flavour profiles. Based in Perth, Hagakure work closely with producers and import partners to bring truly remarkable coffees to the UK — and this one is a perfect example.

Taste Profile:  Red Currant · Yellow Plum · Caramel

El Socorro Purpuracea is as rare as it is delicious. Grown exclusively by Juan Diego La Cerda on his family’s El Socorro farm in Guatemala’s Palencia region, this unique variety was discovered in 2008 as a natural mutation of the Maracaturra plant — instantly recognisable by its striking purple leaves and flowers.

In the cup, it’s bright and juicy, with a vibrant berry sweetness, tea-like body, and a clean, crisp finish that keeps you coming back for more. It’s a truly special coffee, frequently scoring above 90, and produced in extremely limited quantities.

We sourced this coffee through our friends at Caribbean Goods in Glasgow, who work tirelessly to connect Scottish roasters and retailers with Guatemala’s most distinctive farms.

This is one of those coffees you won’t come across often — a small, precious lot that showcases the artistry of both farmer and roaster. If you love discovering something truly unique, don’t wait too long to grab a bag!
