With an intense sugary sweetness like fresh honey, ripe strawberry acidity and chocolate milk level viscosity, this lot produced by Daniel Orantes on his farm “El Suyatal” is a perfect fit for anyone looking for sweet, fruit forward coffee that’s still suitable for everyday drinking.
About Daniel Orantes
Growing up on the farm, Daniel Orantes has known the in’s and out’s of farming since he was just a kid, helping his family with farm chores after walking the 5km path from school. When Daniel was young the farm was run by his grandparents, farming coffee alongside other horticulture such as beans, corn, and wheat. It wasn’t until Daniel’s father passed away that the family decided to dedicate the entire farm to coffee. This was alongside acquiring new land nearby, expanding the farm to 3.5 hectares of coffee growing space, including a small forest with a mixture of native trees.
Now Daniel is fully focused on producing specialty coffee, spending his time learning to be able to grow and process better and better coffee. This washed lot that we’ve brought in today is a perfect example of the quality and taste profile you can achieve from skilled Guatemalan producers and we are excited to be able to share it with you!
Cosmic Candy is a great example of a coffee comprising of a balanced profile with deep fruit flavours and high level of sweetness.
