Plum. Honeysuckle. Vanilla.
This red honey-processed single origin from Guatemala is fruity, sweet, and light. With notes of super-ripe plum, honeysuckle (think floral-honey sweetness), and vanilla to round things off, it's just a really beautiful lot of coffee. It's an obvious winner for filter-brewed coffees and a surprising delight as a light-roast espresso option.
The Sanchez family has owned the Finca San José Ocaña for over 110 years. The farm is located in San Juan Sacatepequez. San Jose Ocaña has always been a sustainable agricultural operation, which started mainly as a forestry farm management. It became a fine coffee producing farm, serving only the prime speciality coffee market. This is primarily a result of its high altitude, good clayish soils, and varietals. The farm has its own wet mill on the premises, which allows them to control quality. The beans at the farm are grown at 2,000 meters above sea level which increases the density of the coffee cherry and provides for lower yields and higher quality.
