A delicious natural lot from Guatemala, born from quality processing and a care for the natural environment.

East of Guat city and nestled between two volcanoes, Antonio Gonzales is bringing a sense of mindfulness to his coffee.

You can see it in each step; from selective picking of perfectly ripe cherries to the constant turning and sorting as the whole fruit dry in this natural process lot over 28 days. You can hear it in Antonio's consideration for the health of the environment, his desire to support other producers in the region and his hopes for his children to go to university. And this considered approach has resulted in a truly delicious coffee that we're stoked to share with you!

Produced by Antonio Gonzales in Guatemala, La Nueva Montana represents a distinct expression of the region’s potential. This lot is processed using the natural method, a technique where the coffee cherry remains intact while drying, often allowing the bean to absorb the sugars and fruit characteristics of the surrounding pulp. Generally, natural-processed coffees tend to show heavier fruit profiles and increased sweetness compared to their washed counterparts.

Roasted by Five Senses, this selection highlights a complex profile featuring plum, cherry chocolate, rum, raisin, and brown sugar. These notes align with the deeper, more indulgent end of the flavor wheel, offering a rich cup that reflects the careful cultivation practices found in Guatemala. By focusing on the interplay between the natural processing and the inherent qualities of the harvest, this coffee provides a nuanced experience for those who appreciate a bold, fruit-forward cup.
