Mass Hipsteria
BLUEBERRY PIE. HIBISCUS. CACAO.
From the first time our team sampled this coffee we knew we had to have it. Rare enough is a Guatemalan natural but to have one that is bursting with fruit and depth is even rarer. Truly a gem of a natural processed coffee that will be extremely memorable for years to come.

The Full Story
Cooperativa Agrícola Integral La Nueva Era, R.L. is located in the village of Jumaytepeque, near Nueva Santa Rosa city. Falling under the Fraijanes Plateau type coffees, a rich potassium level in the volcanic soil tends to bring extra body to these coffees.
The cooperative involves all its 32-member producers in decision-making processes, such as education, agronomy, and production. The coffee delivered to the Nueva Era Natural annex is grown solely by Finca Tololoche. The farm is owned and run by a three generation family: Jamie Sanchez, his father Don Fernando and son Fernando.
Cherries picked between 22-26 Brix are washed, then dried on the patio for 4 days without any turning or moving. Following this they are moved 6 – 8 times each day for another 4 days or so, before final drying to required moisture levels.
