Bourbon / White Honey
This almost never happens for us to have a tiny nano lot from finca El Naranjo. This year we were lucky as Jose decided to experiment with little quantities with his coffee and process it as white honey.

Our Acatenango coffees usually tend to be pretty dense and compact. They ‘like’ more aggressive energy at the beginning of the roast compared to many other coffees, given that you want to achieve a similar roast time. Watch out for significant RoR crashes after the first crack – make sure you go into the development time phase with a relatively high energy as well.
Please note this is a general, not a specific tip. Each coffee tends to behave a bit (or a lot!) differently and should be approached individually. We highly recommend working with a colorimeter machine. Your local data, depending on your grinder, grind size and the way you prepare coffee surface for measurements, will be the most precise tool for your QC routine aside from cupping.
We really admire José’s work. He’s one of those producers who does it all, from managing the farm to processing, drying, and selling his coffee. On top of that, he produces dairy products and honey, creating additional income streams and making the farm more economically sustainable.
We’re especially happy that, on top of everything else, José found the time this year to experiment with coffee processing and try a honey process.

The farm was founded by the Moreira Latour family in the year 1920 and it is located between the Fuego and Acatenango volcanoes and the Cerro Balam Juyu biological belt. Today, Jose Moreira, agronomy graduate of San Carlos university in Guatemala, continues to cultivate coffee with a passion and a quality focus.
The name El Naranjo was born from the fact that for more than 25 years oranges of different varieties were cultivated on the farm and they were recognized for its sweetness. To this day, the region provides excellent soil conditions and a unique microclimate and the coffee is grown under the shade of chalumes and gravileas trees, species native to the Acatenango region.
