Monte de Oro Geisha - Guatemala

Peach blossom. Passion fruit. Maple syrup.

Process - Natural
Varietal - Geisha

Monte de Oro is a very delicate and light coffee, with aromas of peach blossom, fruity and tropical passion fruit acidity and the sweetness of maple syrup at the finish.

The coffee comes from the Monte de Oro farm, located at an altitude of 1,600 metres in the heart of the Acatenango Valley on the hills of Balam Juyu. The Monte de Oro farm is named after the excellent fertility of its soil.
The coffee is harvested after analysing the cherry's sugar content (Brix) to optimise cherry quality. It is then dried on patios and African beds for 10 days. In the first few days, it is dried in very thin layers. These are then made gradually larger to prevent the coffee from drying too quickly.

Our recommendation is to prepare this coffee with filter methods, however we really love it on espresso as well.
