Guatemala - La Senda - Anaerobic Natural - Pache

This is a special lot from a farm we've worked closely with over many years - Finca La Senda, from Acatenango. We were first introduced to this farm through Yancy, the daughter of Maria, who runs the farm back in Guatemala. By coincidence Yancy also lives in Zurich and is well loved by the coffee scene here especially for sharing her family's coffee through the scene. 

This lot is one of our favourites from her - an Anaerobic Natural Pache. It starts with excellent growing high up on volcanic soil at her farm, and after selective picking, the ripe cherries are fermented in sealed tanks for several days at a high altitude, and cool climate, before being dried. The drying is a patio drying with frequent turning to make a very clean version of a natural coffee. Their coffee is typically very dense due to high altitude and growing conditions, so despite having several days fermentation, it remains quite clean. 

This lot has a delicious, clean profile - think Grape, Strawberry, and high sweetness from the natural processing. It makes for a delicious filter, and a style of coffee that's widely appreciated and could be drank any time of day!
