The Origin

The Sisterhood coffee from Odd Kin Coffee Roasters originates from the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala.

Gender equity remains a longstanding challenge in the coffee industry.

Female coffee growers face limited access to land, credit, training, and basic education, despite their crucial contributions to plant care, harvesting, and coffee processing.

Primavera purchases 84-85 point coffees from smallholder farmers in Huehuetenango annually to create a classic profile blend.

The Primavera Sisterhood blend follows these same guidelines but sources exclusively from female producers. Additional proceeds support workshops and education for women farmers.

The coffee offers a well-rounded, smooth profile featuring notes of tangy raspberries, simple sugar sweetness, and red apple acidity.

How We Review Coffee?

We receive coffees from roasters throughout the UK to taste and review. All of our coffee reviews are our own words and thoughts, we don’t receive any form of payment for any of our reviews.

Our coffee reviews always start with an introduction to each independent coffee roaster.

At Batch, we are all about celebrating the incredibly talented roasters that we have in the UK and telling their stories. Each one roasting the coffee slightly different.

We then explore the origin of the coffee and take a look at where the coffee has been grown and the process that it has gone through once it has been picked.

Every coffee growing origin has a different set of characteristics when it comes to the final cup, whether it’s fruity and floral or chocolatey and full the origin of speciality coffee is always celebrated.

The last part of our coffee review is what we tasted in the coffee. Speciality coffee has some incredible flavour notes (more than wine), some dark and rich while others on the opposite end of the flavour spectrum are light and fruity, we try and explain what we taste in the coffee however like with many complex tasting foods or drinks it is also down to perception and personal opinion.

So if we have tasted orange zest and you get watermelon then that is brilliant and what we think speciality coffee is all about (as long as you like the coffee).

We then score the coffee on attributes like body, aroma, sweetness and flavour. Some of the coffees you may then find in our coffee club voted the best coffee subscription in the UK by the Independent.
