MEDIUM ROAST

10oz. whole bean coffee

Washed Process

Samuel Coto Escobar purchased his first coffee plantation in 1977, Finca El Platanillo, and managed it until 1985. In 1985 the farm management was passed to Samuel’s youngest son, Stuardo Coto. Since then, management has focused on the ecosystem, the community, coffee quality and productivity.

This coffee comes from one of the Coto Families newest farms, El Colmenar, in Antigua. Antigua was the first region to grow coffee as an ornamental plant in Jesuit convents, and it later became a livelihood. It is also the region that became the first Denomination of Origin in Guatemala. The farm produces coffee under the shade of Avocado and Gravilea trees in the San Cristobal el Bajo municipality.

This coffee was fully washed and fermented for 24 to 36 hours to clean the coffee, and then dried over roughly one week in the sun.

Flavor
Notes of chocolate, almond, brown sugar, and red apple. A very typical Guatemala coffee and a great daily drinker.
