While the earlier El Llano represented the classic profile of Guatemala’s Acatenango region, this flight shows how botanical variety and the right approach in the process can change the profile of a coffee that grows just a few dozen meters away. Yellow catuai is much more fruitiness, complexity and floral notes!

Heretical opinions
Peter: “I’ve been cupping this flight from Raul year after year for the last four years, and every time it’s my favorite coffee from El Llano. Clean as a tear and sweet as a mirabelle from a country roadside.”

PRODUCER
El LLano is a farm whose grounds begin literally a few meters from the front door of Raul’s house. Located in the beautiful Acatenango region, it is the younger sister of the more popular La Soledad. The vast majority of harvests from El Llano are pure, fruity microlots, and this is also the case with this washed caturra. At the beginning of the year, we ate ripe cherries here, and now we’re locking burnt beans in jars. Well look!
TREATMENT
The harvested fruits ferment for up to 40 hours after picking, and only then are they shelled from the peel. Drying royally – on African beds. As a result of years of experimentation, Raul always keeps a thick layer of grains, which he mixes every 40-60 minutes, depending on the sunshine that prevails at the time. The entire drying process takes 12-14 days.
