This delightful single origin has been sourced from over 250 small holder farms within the region of Santa Rosa in Guatemala. Coffee is harvested from this mountainous region between December and February each year, which ensures the crop is picked at the peak of its ripeness. Once picked, the cherries are processed by removing the cherry, which is then sun dried on patios until a desired moisture content of 12% is reached.
Although this particular batch of coffee is not Rainforest Alliance Certified, the Mill which processes the coffee in this region is. This certification has helped the farmers and mill operators make positive changes for the community including installing a water treatment facility.The careful selection of cherry during harvest and natural sun drying leaves this coffee with notes of plum, honey & cocoa.
