From the roaster

Our ninth year buying this wild lot by Café Granja, with soft fruit and cacao notes shaped by their trademark fermentation.

— La Cabra

Context

La Cabra is a roaster with a reputation for precise, expressive filter-oriented selections, and the Potosi Natural from producer Café Granja reflects their continued interest in process-driven lots. Natural processing — where the whole cherry dries around the seed — is broadly associated with heightened sweetness and fruit weight, as the sugars from the pulp have extended contact with the bean during drying.

Within that context, the soft fruit and cacao notes here sit at a relatively restrained, grounded end of the flavor spectrum compared to the more exuberant berry or fermented profiles naturals can sometimes produce. This suggests careful drying and processing from Café Granja, yielding a cup that leans into warmth and depth rather than brightness — a useful pointer for drinkers who enjoy natural sweetness without high-intensity fruit.
