Blackberry & Mandarin Harvest: March 2024 Country: Guatemala Producer: Juan Pablo Garcia Region: Huehuetenago Process: Washed Variety: Caturra Altitude: 1,650 - 1,800 masl Juan Pablo Garcia is a first generation coffee producer who works and lives with his family. He started farming coffee in 1980 and has been focusing on improving the quality of the coffee and infrastructure on the farm for the last two years. This lot is made up of 100% Caturra variety coffee and has been roasted for filter brewing. Expect a jammy and balanced cup with a morish dark chocolate finish - certainly one of the best Guatemalan coffees we've tasted this year! Juan Pablo Garcia grows, harvests, and processes all of his own coffee. After processing the coffee, Juan receives full payment for his parchment from La Central de Café who mills the coffee, prepares the export documentation, and transports the coffee to port. Their sister company, Primavera Green Coffee then ships the coffee to their warehouse and arranges the onward transport to our roastery.
