About
Washed filter coffee from Ismael Quinteros Orantes's small Casa Vieja farm on the slopes of El Volcancito in Santa Rosa, Guatemala, at 1,760 metres. Ismael farms just over two hectares and is the third generation of his family in coffee. The ripest cherries are picked by hand and fermented for 24 hours in sealed bags without oxygen, then pulped and fermented another 48 hours in sealed bags, and dried on raised African beds in indirect sunlight for 14 days. Bought through Semilla. Ismael received 2,500 quetzales per quintal of parchment, while the average farm price in the area was 1,700.
