You Want It Darker

Chiquimula is a department in northeastern Guatemala. The region is mountainous, with a climate that varies between tropical and temperate. It is known as the cradle of art and artists, as many of Guatemala’s greatest poets, writers, singers, and musicians were born there.

This coffee comes from various independent farmers in the Nuevo Oriente region of Chiquimula. Grown at an average altitude of 1,400 meters, it is produced from Bourbon, Caturra, and Catuaí varieties. The cherries are harvested at full ripeness and first sorted by flotation, then by hand, to remove under- and overripe fruit. They are then mechanically depulped and washed under a jet of water to remove any remaining mucilage, before being dry-fermented for 18 to 30 hours. Finally, the beans are spread out on patios for slow and even drying.

The result is a coffee with tasting notes of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and brownie.
