The Crafted Coffee Company - Guatemala Finca San Francisco

Cupping notes: Medium sweetness, low acidity, caramel, malt, long aftertaste.

Suitable for all brewing methods.

In the northern Guatemalan coffee producing region, in the middle of the Quiche department, some of the most spectacular coffee farms can be found. With almost a thousand hectares of cultivated area, San Francisco Cotzal is one of the largest coffee plantations in Guatemala. Environmentally and socially responsible, the owners not only take care of their coffee and its quality, but also the workers and their families. Just some of the benefits received by the workers include new housing, schools and communal kitchens. The ripe coffee is picked by hand, with several separate passes as the cherries reach peak maturation. It is then pulped on the same day, fully washed and dried in the sun on patios.
