About This Coffee

This washed coffee from Santa Felisa farm in Guatemala's Acatenango region (1650 masl) is a blend of Catuai, Bourbon, and Typica varieties. Established in 1904, the farm employs organic practices and experimental techniques. The coffee undergoes a meticulous process: 72-hour fermentation, depulping, washing, and drying on African raised beds with four daily rakes. The cup features lemon zest and peach aromas with yuzu brightness and peach yogurt notes, supported by honey and frangipani, delivering a smooth, delicate finish.
