Guatemala Los Conejos Anaerobic Natural

Why we Love this Coffee:

We have a deep love for natural process coffees. This anaerobic from producer Julio Ordoñez is exactly the kind of thing we look for. It’s remarkably clear for an anaerobic processed coffee, and has plenty of classic Guatemala notes of marzipan and dark chocolate, but also complex fall spices and mulled wine fruits. We love this coffee as a well rounded filter coffee or as a complex espresso. 

More About this Coffee:

When the Ordoñez-Montenegro family purchased land in Santa Rosa de Lima for coffee production in June 2014 they did so in order to strategically leverage a microclimate and soil that's perfect for coffee cultivation. The children had pet rabbits, and these pets were sent to the new farm. Every weekend the kids would say, "Let's visit the rabbits!", and thus the farm was given its name - Los Conejos. In addition to rich biodiversity, Los Conejos practices multilayer cultivation, or polyculture. This approach improves the overall productivity of the farm, adds layers of income diversification, creates food security for the community, and engages long-term sustainability. Crops fruit on different cycles throughout the year, and animals need tending throughout the year. The farm has goats, chickens and rabbits, as well as bees for pollination and honey production.
