Guatemala Alfredo Ramirez Los Pinos Lot #2

Our next offering from Guatemala comes from Alfredo Ramírez and his farm, Los Pinos. Based in Loma Bonita, Tectitán, Huehuetenango, Los Pinos is a 0.88-hectare farm located at 2,000 meters above sea level. It is named Los Pinos (The Pines) due to the large amount of pine trees in the area.

Ramírez is relatively new to coffee farming, only planting his first coffee trees within the past five years. He has continued to hone his craft with the support of his family alongside technical advisors.

Lot #2 is a blend of Bourbon, Catimor, and Caturra varietals that undergo a 48-hour fermentation before being fully washed and sun-dried on patios. Roasted medium, in the cup we are getting Semi-Sweet Chocolate, Rainier Cherry, and Caramel. This is a very smooth and enjoyable cup of coffee with just enough Huehuetenango brightness to remind you where the coffee is from.
