This coffee is from Huehuetenango, Guatemala, grown at 1600 meters altitude on Finca Cuevitas by Maria Elena Vides. The farm is located in the scenic highlands near La Bolsa, named after the small caves in the surrounding hillsides. It is made from Bourbon and Caturra varieties, processed using a washed method with 72-hour anaerobic prefermentation in cherry. The result is a clean, structured cup with Mandarin Orange, Lime Zest, Floral, Light-Brown Sugar, and Honeydew Melon notes.
