Guatemala Santa Clara (Geisha Natural)
Sold out
ABOUT THE BEAN
Intensely fruit forward and floral, with sugarcane and lingering cherry blossom. Complex and distinct.
This micro-lot is a Geisha variety from Santa Clara Estate, in Antigua
run by the Zelaya family who has been growing coffee for over 100
years. Every cherry is selectively hand-picked, sorted then inspected
and approved by the foreman at the wet mill. Then placed in sealed
Ecotact bags and taken to the mill, oxygen is removed from the bags
and cherries undergo anaerobic fermentation for 14-20 hours. Next
they are depulped, washed and dried slowly and evenly on the patio
and then on raised beds, with a greenhouse-style enclosed canopy.
