8th and Roast
La Joya Honey | Guatemala
$26.00
Unit price perWe're excited to mark the return of La Joya Honey, a lactic honey–processed lot from the Solano family at Finca Concepción Buena Vista in San Martín Jilotepeque, Guatemala. First released two years ago as the farm’s first-ever honey process, this method sits between washed and natural coffees, leaving some of the fruit’s mucilage on the bean to build sweetness, texture, and complexity while keeping the cup clean and bright.
For this amazing coffee, the cherries are fermented in sealed tanks with lactic acid cultivated from the same lot of coffee, then partially depulped and dried slowly on raised beds.
What began as a small experiment by La Joya's microbiologist and fermentation specialist, Adriana, is now a refined, repeatable process. This is all made possible by the Solano’s laboratory, sophisticated wet and dry mills and growing control over fermentation.
This returning release is layered and expressive, with tasting and texture notes of hazelnut, soft serve ice cream, and s'mores!

frequently asked questions
single origin coffee comes from a specific geographic region, or in 8th & Roast’s case, a farm or family of farms. this allows for a dialed-in flavor profile that carries the trademark of the area where the coffee was grown, with elements like climate, elevation, and soil as factors. blends are created when our roasters combine coffees of a different origin and/or process in a deliberate way, creating a unique flavor profile.
our roasting facility and training lab is located in the heart of Nashville at 2637 grandview ave. while it is not open to the public on a daily basis, it is where we host our community classes.
we offer classes occasionally, with topics ranging from ‘coffee 101’ to ‘latte art’ to ‘home brewing and extraction.’ check out our classes page for the most updated information.
try to avoid heat, light, moisture, and oxygen to keep your beans at their freshest. our bags are designed for great storage, and we recommend keeping them in a dry, dark pantry for optimal storage. we don’t recommend storing beans in the refrigerator.
Common Voice is the sister brand of 8th & Roast Coffee Co. originally launched by goodcitizen coffee, it is now part of the 8th & roast family when we acquired the brands. common voice provides more people with access to boutique coffee and enables farmers to sell more of their available crops year after year. the resulting blends are produced and processed to the same standards as all our coffees.
