Heretical opinions

Peter: Anacafe 14 has revolutionized Guatemalan growers’ crops in recent years. Large yields, high quality potential and relatively high resistance to the most common diseases afflicting the coffee tree – it worked! In the cup, the classic Acatenango profile: high sweetness, purity, balance and a pronounced fruit character.

TREATMENT

The harvested fruit is shelled and ferments itself in a tank for 24 hours. It all takes place in a small washing station built by the Melendez sisters several years ago. Then there’s the classic option: the grains are dried on the patio until they reach optimum moisture content.

 

FARMA

Monte Verde is about two sisters who jointly manage a small farm. For a long time, they sold their entire harvest to a nearby cooperative. A few years ago they built a small washing station and became partially independent! This is the first year we bought coffee from Zielona Gora. A fairly new botanical developed by Guatemala’s Anacafe Institute, the variety offers purity, sweetness and an obvious fruity character. Good for you!
