One of the most expensive coffee we have bought so far. I personally as a coffee roaster, prefer to recommend this coffee as an affordable coffee.
This might be one of the least expensive coffee we will buy from a reputable coffee farm in Guatemala. Due to the amazing aroma and innovative ways of experimenting with processes, we pay a hefty price for this coffee.
Information
During the harvest, after the cherries are carefully hand-selected, they are delivered to the mill located onsite. This lot is specifically comprised of Gesha from the San Andres area of the farm. Once at the mill, the coffee is pulped immediately to remove the external fruit via machines. Fermentation follows, whereby the coffee sits in piles to breakdown the remaining mucilage for 8 – 12 hours. The coffee is then washed through channels to clean away any remaining mucilage. The coffee is sorted and then dispersed on patios to dry in the open sun for 12 hours. To finish drying, the coffee is placed into guardiolas, or machine dryers, to efficiently complete
