This is a regional blend of coffees from small farmers in the Jalapa region of Guatemala. This beautiful region is distinct from other growing regions of Guatemala; it boasts pine forests scattered across a mountainous landscape, teeming with birds and wildlife. Producers in this region typically sell cherry to centralized wet mills, which carefully conserve water resources in the area.
The farmers are small producers in the area and the blend is traceable to the farm level. The coffees are processed carefully on drying patios overlooking the wooded landscape.
With its rich volcanic soil, mountainous terrain, and varied micro-climates, Guatemala is a perfect country for coffee cultivation. Centuries of agricultural history have transformed Guatemala into the spectacular coffee origin it is today, and Guatemalan green coffee beans are the delight of roasters and coffee drinkers alike. With its wide array of growing regions, Guatemala encourages a diverse range of outstanding flavor profiles.
In the “washed” or “wet” process coffee cherries are floated and sorted to ensure consistent ripeness and to remove any defective cherries. The seeds (coffee beans) are then removed from their skins using de-pulping machines and typically moved to fermentation tanks to remove the mucilage—the remaining fruit remnants. Afterward, the coffee is dried until it reaches the optimal moisture level.
Washed processing has become widely popular. The cup profile of washed coffees tends to reflect the terroir of the coffee. The processing method allows the growing conditions, the region, and the true character of the coffee to shine through.
