Guatemala – Microlot – Los Pinos – by Elmer Lopez

this is a natural-process microlot from huehuetenango, guatemala, grown by elmer lopez and roasted by stockholm coffee roasters. the lot combines caturra, pacamara, and bourbon varietals, a mix that brings different cup characteristics together in a single harvest. natural processing means the coffee dried inside the whole fruit, which tends to push sweetness and floral intensity forward. in the cup expect jasmine and broader floral aromatics, with cocoa adding weight and depth. brew methods that preserve clarity and sweetness, such as filter or pour-over, will highlight the floral character, while keeping water temperature moderate, around 90-93°c, avoids pushing bitterness from the cocoa.
