A juicy and sparkling cup with notes of raspberry, passion fruit and melon, grown at Los Lajones by Graciano Cruz, a producer dedicated to quality, sustainability and innovative low resource processing.

###

This vibrant microlot comes from Los Lajones, one of two farms owned by Graciano Cruz, a specialty coffee farmer known for championing high quality produced with minimal natural resources. Graciano was one of the first in Central America to advocate for zero water use in processing and has dedicated his work to natural and honey methods that both protect the environment and enhance flavour.

Los Lajones sits between two lava flows, creating a unique microclimate with rich biodiversity, from native birds to fungi and flowering trees. These conditions, combined with Graciano’s approach, help shape the expressive character of this lot.

Processed using the natural anaerobic method, carefully selected cherries are fermented without oxygen before being slowly dried. This brings depth, sweetness and clarity to the cup.

Expect a juicy and sparkling profile with notes of raspberry, passion fruit and melon. A lively, fruit forward coffee from a producer dedicated to sustainability and innovation.

William ★★★★★

The melon and raspberry flavors come through exactly as described, and that sparkle on the tongue keeps each sip interesting. I brewed it in my pour-over and the cup stayed juicy from hot to cool, which rarely happens with beans this delicate. Probably the most unique microlot I've tasted from Panam

Leo M. ★★★★★

The sparkling mouthfeel really carries through, and that passion fruit note is unmistakable from the first sip. I’ve been dialing in pour-overs all week and this microlot keeps delivering a lively, juicy cup. Graciano’s low-resource processing approach is a nice bonus for a coffee that already taste

William ★★★★★

First cup I brewed tasted like raspberry jam with a fizzy pop at the end, almost like a sparkling water but in a coffee. The passion fruit note came through stronger as it cooled, and I didn't add a drop of sugar. Definitely going back for another bag, this microlot is a keeper.
