Guatemala La Bolsa Natural

If someone asked us where to start with natural coffee, we'd probably hand them this.

Sweet red berries, praline and warming port notes come together in a rich, velvety cup. There’s plenty going on, but nothing feels pushed too far. It's the kind of coffee that gives you something new to discover without making you work for it.

Guatemala La Bolsa Natural, sourced by North Star Coffee Roasters, represents a distinct expression of the Guatemala terroir. By utilizing a natural process, the producers at La Bolsa allow the coffee cherry to dry intact around the bean, a technique often associated with heightened sweetness and complex, fruit-forward profiles. In this specific lot, those characteristics manifest as notes of red berries, praline, and warming port.

While every harvest varies, natural-processed coffees are frequently celebrated for their heavier body and intense, jammy qualities compared to their washed counterparts. To better understand how these specific descriptors align with broader industry standards, you may wish to consult the flavor wheel. This coffee offers a compelling look at how traditional processing methods can transform the character of beans from this renowned origin, providing a rich and layered experience for those who enjoy deep, dessert-like profiles in their cup.
