In March we visited Francisco Morales in Guatemala. For many seasons, we have showcased his refined coffees and it is always exciting to taste the latest lot!

Huehuetenango has a unique microclimate – the cold mountain temperatures are balanced out by warm winds that blow over from Mexico while long dry summers allow for even drying. Expect
notes of blood orange, vanilla, chocolate, and malt: Los Naranjales is perfectly balanced and extremely sweet.

THE CUP

Los Naranjales is a coffee for any occasion. With rich notes of vanilla, chocolate, and malt, alongside a hint of zesty blood orange, this is a coffee that carries itself perfectly on its own or in longer drinks with milk. Careful processing creates a profile that is superbly balanced and extremely sweet.

ABOUT THE FARM

Francisco Morales got his passion for coffee growing from his grandfather, who planted 100 coffee trees when he was just 14 years old. Francisco himself started his own farm with 9000 seedlings he grew in a nursery in 1977.

The close proximity of La Democracia to the Mexican border gives the farm great climate conditions. Good sun, winds and rain. The heat is coming from Mexico and the high mountains of the Huehuetenango Plateau brings down temperatures at night. Dry long summers are stressing the trees so that they deliver good production.

THE PROCESS

Francisco is using 50% shade drying to gently work with his coffees. It prevents them from cracking and so this coffee keeps all his delicious flavours. Fermentation in cherries is stretched to 40 hours which gives our Lot strong character.
