Tasting Notes: Caramel Apple, Black Raspberry, Tootsie Roll
For us, coffee is about relationships. These relationships throughout the supply chain are the foundation 8th & Roast is built on, and this coffee from our friends at Finca Concepción Buena Vista in Chimaltenango, Guatemala is the example that sets the bar for that level of transparency.
Since 2021, we have been working directly with the Solano Family, who are fourth generation coffee farmers in the community of San Martin Jilotepeque in the Guatemalan department of Chimaltenango.
Our natural process offering from Concepción Buena Vista is a delicious Red Bourbon varietal grown at 5900 feet above sea level. After harvest, each bean is slowly dried in the cherry for around three weeks, with the moisture being monitored meticulously along the way. Some of the trees that grow coffee for this lot are nearly 100 years old and still producing amazing coffees!
