Juicy and sparkling profile

A juicy and sparkling cup with notes of raspberry, passion fruit and melon, grown at Los Lajones by Graciano Cruz, a producer dedicated to quality, sustainability and innovative low resource processing.
Roast
This coffee is a light roast. Roast level influences the flavour and body of coffee. Darker roasts are fuller bodied, lighter roasts brighter. The beans are light brown in colour (unsurprisingly), it will retain more of the natural flavour of the coffee. This can result in a higher acidity and may often show more fruit and floral notes. This roast style means the quality of the coffee shines through the best.

More about this microlot

This vibrant microlot comes from Los Lajones, one of two farms owned by Graciano Cruz, a specialty coffee farmer known for championing high quality produced with minimal natural resources. Graciano was one of the first in Central America to advocate for zero water use in processing and has dedicated his work to natural and honey methods that both protect the environment and enhance flavour.

Los Lajones sits between two lava flows, creating a unique microclimate with rich biodiversity, from native birds to fungi and flowering trees. These conditions, combined with Graciano’s approach, help shape the expressive character of this lot.

Processed using the natural anaerobic method, carefully selected cherries are fermented without oxygen before being slowly dried. This brings depth, sweetness and clarity to the cup.

Expect a juicy and sparkling profile with notes of raspberry, passion fruit and melon. A lively, fruit forward coffee from a producer dedicated to sustainability and innovation.
