De plantage ligt op 1830 meter hoogte boven zeeniveau. De arabica varieteiten zijn bourbon, pache en caturra. Licht geroosterd zijn koffies uit Guatemala gezet met aeropress, duwpot en filter geweldig delicaat en fijnzinnig. Met deze koffie gaan al je smaakzones juichen. Prachtig om de dag mee te beginnen en te eindigen. Smaak en aroma: honing, custard vla, chocolade, jasmijn, rozen, vanille, bessen en grapefruit. Wijnachtige frisheid met vleugje grapefruit en citroen. Als finish een lange ronde en zoete nasmaak.
