Fresh peach and ripe mango lead the way in this vibrant natural-process coffee, lifted by a sparkling, champagne-like acidity. Producer Fredy Orantes grows this Catuai microlot at Buena Vista, his seven-hectare farm in Guatemala’s Fraijanes region, at an elevation of 1,870 meters. Coffee grows beneath grevillea, avocado, native, and fruit trees, while composted leaves, branches, and coffee pulp help nourish the soil and sustain the farm’s diverse habitat. After harvest, Fredy selects only the ripest cherries, washes away immature fruit, and slowly dries the coffee on raised beds for 25 to 30 days. This combination of high-elevation terroir and meticulous natural processing creates a cup that is juicy, wine-like, and exceptionally clear, with generous tropical sweetness and a bright, refreshing finish.
