Peak Ripeness: The Secret of Santa Rosa

Grown in the prestigious highlands of Santa Rosa, Guatemala El Boquerón is a celebration of patience, precision and terroir. The 250 smallholder farmers behind this lot follow a rare discipline: they only harvest between December and February, ensuring every Caturra cherry is picked at absolute peak ripeness. The result is a sugar concentration and flavour purity that few coffees can match.

This is filter coffee designed for clarity, vibrancy and fruit‑forward expression.

Tasting Profile: Tropical Fruit, Cherry & Strawberry

Because these cherries are hand‑picked at peak ripeness and processed naturally, El Boquerón delivers a vivid, multi‑layered cup:

- Tropical Fruit: Lush, exotic sweetness that anchors the cup

- Ripe Cherry: Deep, syrupy stone‑fruit complexity

- Fresh Strawberry: A bright, sparkling finish that shines in pour‑over brews

Tasting: Mind‑blowing notes of tropical fruit, cherry and strawberries.

The Natural Process: Sun‑Drenched Sweetness

While Guatemala is traditionally known for washed coffees, El Boquerón thrives as a Natural.

- Hand‑Sorted Precision: Only the deepest red cherries make the cut

- Slow Drying: Sun‑dried with the fruit intact for maximum sugar absorption

- High‑Altitude Terroir: At 1900 MASL, cool nights and volcanic soil create refined acidity and dense sweetness
