Marcelessa Plus

About This Coffee

Marcelessa Plus is a single-origin coffee from Guatemala, grown by Juan Diego De La Cerda at Finca El Socorro in the volcanic highlands. The Marcelessa hybrid variety is a modern cultivar bred for both exceptional flavor and climate adaptability. This coffee features an extended Maillard roast emphasizing sugar browning, resulting in a big body with sweet chocolate and caramel notes. The coffee was processed using advanced techniques including warm water fermentation to maintain bean density and coffee components.
