STRAWBERRY - COCOA - TOFFEE
This naturally processed and Cost of Production Covered coffee has a unique cup expression. We taste flavors of strawberry, cocoa, and toffee.
The 7 hectare (17 acres) farm, San Antonio La Giralda, was founded in 1985, and has been run by the Montenegro Lazo family since 2014. Located at 1800 meters above sea level (masl) in the Amatitlán growing region, San Antonio La Giralda grows Caturra, Catuaí, and Bourbon plant varieties. José Montenegro's son, José Antonio, is responsible for taking brix readings of coffee cherries for optimal sweetness during harvest. After harvesting, the coffee is processed naturally and dried for ~30 days. The coffee rested for several months before being sent to the Bicafe dry mill in Fraijanes for further processing and packing. The Montenegro Lazo family grows and processes some of the best naturally processed Guatemalan coffee we've ever tasted.
