From the roaster

Context
Produced by Antonio Medina, La Colina Natural represents a distinct expression of Guatemala coffee. As a natural-processed lot, this coffee undergoes a drying phase where the cherry remains intact around the bean, a technique often utilized to impart sweetness and complexity to the final cup. Generally, natural-processed coffees tend to show heavier fruit profiles and a syrupy mouthfeel compared to their washed counterparts.
Roasted by The Barn, this selection highlights a vibrant profile featuring papaya, dried mango, vanilla, and nougat. These specific characteristics can be mapped against the flavor wheel to better understand how the inherent qualities of the terroir interact with the drying process. By focusing on the careful handling of the fruit during harvest, Medina has created a profile that balances tropical acidity with creamy, confectionary undertones, offering a nuanced look at the potential of Guatemalan coffee production.
