San Lorenzo

A remarkably fine coffee that delivers delicate notes of citrus and chocolate, with a very subtle sweet hint. It is quite demanding and requires a good grinder for a successful espresso extraction, but the result is crazy. Prefer a gentle extraction if you have doubts.

Finca San Lorenzo is located in the mountains surrounding the town of San Cristobal, in the department of Alta Verapaz and the region of Cobán in Guatemala. Luis “Wicho” Valdés grows one of the best coffees in the country.

It has been a long road to get there. The particularity of the region, apart from a steep relief, is an extremely humid subtropical climate which gives very dense fogs called "chipi chipi", a kind of drizzle whose frequency and duration make coffee cultivation very difficult.

It is through considerable effort and constant improvement of its drying methods that Wicho has now achieved an exceptional result and fruits full of complex and fruity aromas.
