Los Altares, Anaerobic Honey Caturra, Guatemala

los altares is a caturra lot from guatemala, processed using an anaerobic honey method. in anaerobic honey processing, the cherries ferment in a low-oxygen environment before the fruit skin is removed but some mucilage is left on the seed to dry, which concentrates sweetness and slows fermentation in a controlled way. the result here is a cup centered on honey and honeycomb, with a thick, sweet character that sits somewhere between a natural and a washed coffee. roasted by drop coffee roasters, it suits filter methods that highlight clarity and sweetness, such as pour-over or aeropress, using water around 93°c and a medium-fine grind.
