Guatemala is an origin that continues to surprise us. Having long been a part of our portfolio, producers across the country are increasingly exploring new ways to create flavour. In 2024, we visited Finca Gascon to see some of the innovative methods introduced by Felipe Contreras.
This coffee stood out due to its ‘Yeast Fermentation’. During processing, natural yeast found in the coffee is isolated and reproduced, then added to the fermentation environment. This increases the fermentation that takes place, create rich flavour and sweetness that is unlike anything we have previously tasted from Guatemala. In the cup, expect rounded notes of cherry, plum, cacao, and malt.
