ORIGIN

Farm: Ella Women's Group Region: Nuevo Oriente Process: Washed Variety: Caturra, Bourbon, Catuaí Elevation:  1330 - 1720 MASL

Sourced from the Nuevo Oriente region of Guatemala, Guatemala Ella is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the Ella Women's Group. This lot is cultivated at elevations ranging from 1330 to 1720 masl and undergoes a washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. Roasted by Press Coffee Roasters, the profile presents a balanced cup characterized by notes of juicy pear, pecan, and rich brown sugar.

When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often reference the flavor wheel to better articulate the nuances between stone fruit acidity and nutty, caramelized sweetness. While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their clean, consistent expression of terroir, the specific character of this lot reflects the dedicated stewardship of its producers in Nuevo Oriente. It serves as a compelling example of how regional conditions and careful post-harvest processing converge to create a distinct sensory experience.
