La Asunción
Regular price $24.00A separated lot from a small co-operative in Guatemala. We taste toasted almonds and milk chocolate.
La Asuncion is a twenty-five producer cooperative in San Jose Poaquil, Chimaltenango, Guatemala. Lot 22 is a specific day lot that was cupped from top-performing lots from the cooperative.
The Morales Family is one of the pillars of a La Cooperativa Asuncion. Senora Morales acts as the head of administrative duties, and a point of communication between the Cooperative, and the Guatemalan exporting bodies.
The regional farms are located in the surrounding area of San Jose Poaquil, an ideal coffee growing paradise. Ranging in altitude from 1950-2100masl, this mountainous region grows plenty of wild coffee just waiting to be picked.
The cooperative recently built a wet mill that is available for all members to use. Collectively, they pick Catuaí, Typica, and some Bourbon. The cherries are pulped in new fermentation tanks and are sent to dry on patios via channels that are cleaned regularly.
In the cup we taste delicate florals, stone-fruit acidity, some light almond notes and soft, lingering chocolate.
