This coffee is sourced from Finca La Bolsa, located in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala at an altitude of 1,300 to 1,600 meters. The farm, established in 1958 and operated by the Vides family, benefits from cool mountain air and limestone-rich soils. Processed using the Black Honey method, which retains significant fruit mucilage during drying, this coffee offers a rich, syrupy body. The flavor profile is sweet, juicy, and complex, featuring notes reminiscent of a cherry-cranberry fruit cocktail.
