GUATEMALA FINCA SAN JOSÉ OCAÑA
CITY OF SAN JUAN SACATEPÉQUEZ; REGION OF CHIMALTENANGO
Variety: Mostly Bourbon; some Catuai

This is one of the best Guatemalan coffees we’ve tried in years. San José Ocaña is a fifth generation farm located high (very high!) in the volcanic mountains of Chimaltenango. Grown at 1900 meters, the finca’s Bourbon and Catui trees produce small, dense beans packed with intense flavor. At a medium roast, we find it supremely clean and sweet, with citrus-like brightness, very good body and a pleasant, fruity aftertaste. All San José Ocaña’s coffee is meticulously wet-milled and sun-dried on patios. It was a Cup of Excellence winner in 2007, which has made it very hard to get. We’re very happy to have it. Medium roast.
