Guatemala Finca Los Pinos

Highlights

“Renardo Ovalle planted Finca Los Pinos in Huehuetenango — named for the towering pines on the land — in one of the highest and most sought-after growing regions of Guatemala, arguably of all Central America. The extreme elevation and the area's particular microclimate give the coffee long, slow maturation and dense fruit. Caturra and Bourbon are washed and dried as a clean lot, and ReAnimator roast it light in Philadelphia. The cup is citrus-driven and sugary: mandarin orange and jasmine over a brown sugar base, seasonal and built for pour over.”
