Context
Sourced from El Porvenir in Guatemala's Santa Rosa region, this Yellow Catuai lot arrives as a natural-processed coffee—a method known to emphasize fruit-forward character through extended skin contact during drying. Grown between 1830–2000 meters, the beans were dried on raised beds, a technique that encourages even moisture loss and complexity. Flat Track Coffee identifies plum and melon as the dominant fruit notes, rounded by chocolate undertones, a profile typical of naturally processed coffees in the Central American highlands. Yellow Catuai as a varietal tends toward smooth, balanced cup characteristics, making this a compelling example of how processing choices and altitude shape the final sensory experience. Those drawn to stone fruit and subtle cocoa dimensions will find a clear expression of Santa Rosa's terroir here.
