What Obison Coffee Roasters say

Grown at 2,000 Metres. Roasted This Morning. Ruined Your Old Coffee Forever.

Mandarin brightness, dark chocolate depth, and 186 smallholder families behind every bag. This is what happens when we stop blending and let one place do the talking.

Huehuetenango sits in Guatemala’s north-west highlands, and it’s the reason single origin coffee has a reputation in the first place. Hot, dry winds sweep in off the plains of Mexico and hold the frost back, which lets coffee grow higher here than almost anywhere else in the country; 1,800 to 2,000 metres, on mineral-rich clay soils. Higher altitude means slower cherry development. Slower development means denser beans, more sugar, and the kind of complexity you can’t fake with a dark roast and a prayer.

Our lot comes from Cooperativa Río Azul in Jacaltenango, 186 smallholder growers, each farming plots you could walk across in a few minutes. Cherries are fully washed and sun-dried on patios, the old-fashioned way, turned by hand until they’re exactly right.

In the cup: orange, red berries, dark chocolate and caramel. A mandarin-like acidity leads the charge, then rolls into a smooth, full body and finishes long on dark chocolate and roasted almond. Bright enough for the filter crowd. Sweet enough that your flat white drinkers won’t know what hit them.

Wakey Wakey is my go-to morning brew. The balance of chocolate and hazelnut makes it feel like a café-quality coffee at home.

Rocket Surgery is just the right amount of bold and smooth. Works great as both a flat white and a long black—absolute ripper!

This coffee is sweet, creamy, and has a bright tropical kick. Makes the best filter brew I’ve had in ages!

It's strong, punchy, and super smooth. Tastes like a proper specialty blend, not the cheap supermarket stuff.

This coffe is rich, nutty, and has a caramel sweetness that makes the smoothest shots. My new favourite.

Sweet Lucia has this caramel and apricot sweetness that’s just unreal. No bitterness, just pure smoothness.

Wakey Wakey makes my mornings easy. No bitterness, just a smooth, full-bodied coffee that’s way better than anything from the shops.

Tolima is vibrant, balanced, and has this creamy caramel aftertaste that lingers. Works beautifully for my morning pour-over.

Coffee To A Kn!fe Fight is exactly what I need on groggy mornings. Bold without being harsh seriously good stuff.

Harusuke has this juicy, floral brightness that’s unreal. If you love complex, high-quality coffee, this one’s a must-try.

Bblends so well with milk. It’s rich and smooth, with just enough fruitiness to keep it interesting.

Fazenda is my new favourite for espresso. Thick crema, chocolatey smoothness, and just a hint of caramel.

Harusuke is something else. The citrus and grape notes hit just right, and it’s got this brown sugar sweetness that ties it all together.

Wakey Wakey is the coffee I never knew I needed. Smooth, flavourful, and just strong enough to get me moving.

I’ve tried heaps of blends, but this one is just perfect. Rich, smooth, and works in every brew method.

Sweet Lucia is next-level smooth. No harshness, just a well-balanced, naturally sweet cup.
