FROM THE ROASTER

OUR SECOND SEASON BUYING COFFEE FROM FREDY ORANTES, AND GENUINELY THESE MIGHT BE SOME OF OUR FAVOURITE COFFEES TO COME OUT OF GUATEMALA. FINCA BUENA VISTA IS ONE OF THE GEMS IN THE PRIMAVERA LINEUP, COMBINING A BIO-DIVERSITY & REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE FIRST APPROACH WITH EXCELLENT QUALITY. THIS YEAR'S PACAMARA LOT IS LIGHTER AND CLEANER THAN LAST, THOUGH UNMISTAKABLY A PROCESS-LEAD CUP - AND A TRUE PACAMARA, WITH BIG BEANS AND A FUN TECHNICAL CHALLENGE FOR US AS ROASTERS.

WE'RE TASTING

ROSE TURKISH DELIGHT AND FRESH PICKED OVERRIPE RASPBERRY AROMATICS. IN THE CUP IT'S INCREDIBLY SWEET - REMINDING US OF WHITE CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE, WITH RASPBERRY JAM ACIDITY AND PINK MARSHMALLOW & DRIED MANGO FLAVOURS. AS IT COOLS IT BECOMES MORE TROPICAL AND PROCESS-LEAD, WITH HINTS OF A BOOZIER PROCESS NOTE LIKE KRIEK LAMBIC.

PROCESS

TRADITIONAL NATURAL: RIPE CHERRIES HAND PICKED, DRY FERMENTED IN-SACK FOR APPROXIMATELY 48 HRS, THEN MOVED TO RAISED BEDS IN THE WARM, DRY CLIMATE OF FRAIJANES. FREQUENTLY TURNED AND DEFECT SORTED THROUGHOUT A DRYING PERIOD OF 25-30 DAYS, THEN HELD IN REPOSADO BEFORE DELIVERY TO THE LA CENTRAL DRY MILL.
