Coffee Description
A silky and sumptuous array of complex fruit forward flavors balanced by wonderful sweet cocoa and cream.
This is the most famous coffee varietal from Juana Diegos farm. It has won more top 3 Cup Of Excellence awards than any other coffee. It is notoriously difficult to grow and remarkably low yield. It is also much more difficult to process since the beans are absolutely gigantic! Juan Diego set aside a special nano lot of his prized Maracaturra for us that we are excited to share with you.

About Juan Diego De La Cerda of Guatemala
We have been working with Juan Diego since 2009. El Socorro is one of the most award winning fincas in all of Guatemala and is a coffee farm of unsurpassable beauty in the highlands of Central Guatemala roughly 50 kilometers from Guatemala City. El Socorro’s prized coffees are a result of its high altitude location combined with University trained agronomist Juan Diego’s great attention to detail. He has spurred the farm's focus on quality coffee production with advanced processing techniques including warm water fermentation, which speeds up the fermentation process. In this shorter period of fermentation, the coffee grain keeps its density & maintains the coffee's components intact.
