Context

Produced by Nando Diaz, this Guatemala Santa Ana Natural showcases the distinct characteristics of the Pacamara varietal. Grown in Guatemala, this lot undergoes a natural process, a method where the coffee cherry remains intact while drying, often resulting in a heavier body and intensified sweetness compared to washed counterparts.

Roasted by Glen Lyon Coffee, this selection highlights the interplay between the unique genetics of the Pacamara bean and the careful post-harvest handling required for natural processing. When evaluating the complexities of such a profile, enthusiasts often refer to the flavor wheel to identify the nuanced notes that emerge from this specific combination of origin and technique. By focusing on the integrity of the cherry during drying, Nando Diaz emphasizes the inherent qualities of the harvest, offering a clear expression of the terroir found within this specific Guatemalan estate.
