Guatemala - Piedra Azul - Single Origin Coffee of the Month (non subscription)
Silky smooth & sweet with a rounded finish.
Guatemala - Piedra Azul is our exciting new single origin for the entire month of January. This coffee is silky smooth and sweet with a rounded finish, with tasting notes of cherry, plum, raspberry reduction, orange & chocolate tart.
Country: Guatemala
Region: Huehuetenango
Producer: Renardo "Nayo" Ovalle
Varietal: Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai
Altitude: 1,700 MASL
Process: Washed
Tasting Notes: Cherry, plum, raspberry reduction, orange & chocolate tart.
Among Guatemala's renowned regions, Huehuetenango stands out for its ideal growing conditions, situated in the countries western highlands. The city benefits from high elevation and clay loam soil, ideal for cultivating coffee.
Renardo 'Nayo' Ovalle, agronomist and grandson of Jorge Vides, leads Finca El Puente with a focus on quality, sustainability and social development, ensuring long-term excellence in green coffee production.
Finca El Peunte is situated near the El Injerto river and is encompassed by the El Chalum community. Among the diverse flora on the farm are chalum, cypress, oak and eucalyptus trees, creating a 55% shade cover for the coffee plants. This lot derives its name from the blue-coloured rocks found in this part of the farm, a result of the abundant lazurite mineral in the soil.
In harvest season, coffee is handpicked, selecting cherries by colour and recording brix grade for plot selection. After a 36-hour rest period, the cherries are floated to remove impurities. Then, they undergo de-pulping, followed by classification by size and weight. After 24-30 hours in dry fermentation tanks for mucilage removal, the beans are sorted again before drying on patios. Finally, the coffee undergoes hulling, grading, classifying, and sorting in preparation for export.
The Vides story began back in 1958 when Don Jorge Vides Molina founded Finca La Bolsa as a passion project. Now, the family operates six farms in Huehuetenango and owns a state of the art cupping lab in Guatemala City. The family's commitment to producing the finest quality coffee has been rewarded with numerous awards, most notably a cup of excellence in 2002.
Vides 58 is a member of the Guatemalan chapter of the International Women's Coffee Alliance and has implemented four community programs at La Bolsa, including a school, daycare, and student grants.
