Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is produced by Alex Herrera at Finca Pampojilá in the Atitlán region of Guatemala, growing at 1,480-1,800 meters altitude. The farm sits on volcanic soil on the upper slopes of the Volcán de Atitlán, where afternoon cloud cover provides natural shade to the coffee plants. The Caturra varietal undergoes a natural anaerobic fermentation process for 300 hours, followed by outdoor drying using the sleeping bag technique. This results in a distinctive cup profile featuring red cherry, berries, pineapple, and dark chocolate notes.
