Details

Naranjas Nadando—"Swimming with Oranges"—is the brainchild of Jenner Villatoro at Finca Villaure in Huehuetenango, Guatemala. After picking, whole cherries are soaked for 40 hours with organic orange juice and orange peel. The cherries are then depulped and fermented for another 36 hours in GrainPro bags with organic orange juice and orange peel. Finally they are thoroughly washed and dried for 14 days on raised beds in a greenhouse.

Rather than making the coffee taste like oranges, the added natural sugar and yeast fuel and alter the fermentation process. We were impressed by the delicacy and complexity of the brewed cup, with floral hints of honeysuckle and rosemary accompanying citric and caramelized sugar base notes.

Produced by Pour Ta Coffee in Laramie, Wyoming.

This Guatemala Orange Co-Ferment Pour Over Pouch, sourced from producer Jenner Villatoro, represents a distinct offering from PT's Coffee Roasting. Grown in the renowned Guatemala · Huehuetenango region, this lot utilizes a washed processing method to highlight the inherent characteristics of the bean.
