Finca Medina Natural (Guatemala)
This is a naturally processed Caturra lot from Guatemala's Finca Medina in the Antigua Region. Expect rich cocoa notes, a delicious blood orange acidity & honey sweetness!
The story...
Finca Medina is situated in the foothills of Antigua’s majestic Agua Volcano. Antigua is a region world famous for speciality coffee cultivation thanks to the mineral content of its volcanic soil, high altitude and consistent rainfall patterns. Established in 1842, Medina
combines a rich agricultural tradition with a forward-thinking ethos, based on modern processing and sustainable practices.
Finca Medina is an Alliance of Coffee Excellence award winning farm, making a highly anticipated return to our roastery this year with a special naturally processed lot. After harvesting, ripe cherries have been laid out to dry in the sun with regular turning leading to a natural fermentation of the coffee bean. The resulting profile is a zesty, sweet and rich symphony of flavours.
We are proud to have sourced this coffee in collaboration with Javier, founder of Caribbean Goods. Javier is a Guatemalan born and now Glasgow based coffee importer with an overwhelming passion for and knowledge of coffee. To Javier (and us) Guatemalan coffee is more than a commodity, more than a delicious drink. It is a way of life and an opportunity to support farms like Finca Medina and their surrounding communities.
