Guatemala Monte de Oro

With Mario's blessing, this is the second harvest blending his two processes together. Mario’s creamy and sweet black honey pairs with his jammy and berry-forward natural to create a blend that we think is the best of both worlds. Big body, big sweetness, and fruit that’s plenty present, but not quite as overpowering as it can be in a full natural.

A big shoutout to Mario for not only encouraging us to experiment with his coffees at the roastery but also for experimenting and sharing knowledge with us on his farm. Mario and his team at Monte de Oro sweat all the details when it comes to picking, fermenting, and drying his coffee, and they’ve been happy to share the details with us. We in turn have shared some of that knowledge with other partners like AProCafé, so Mario’s coffee isn’t just excellent, but it helps create a rising tide for all the coffee we buy and roast from Guatemala. 

Like last year, 2021 Monte de Oro is big, sweet, fruity, and balanced, all at the same time. We’re tasting grape jam, honey, chocolate, and blueberry muffin, and are stoked to have this unique coffee back for another turn around the roastery.
