Produced by smallholder farmers surrounding the volcanic crater lake of Laguna de Ayarza in Guatemala's Santa Rosa region, this naturally processed lot reflects the unique growing conditions of one of the country's most promising coffee-producing areas. Mineral-rich volcanic soils, high elevations, and a distinct microclimate provide an exceptional environment for cultivating specialty coffee.

Coffee cherries are handpicked by local producers before being delivered to a central processing facility near Ayarza, where strict quality standards are maintained throughout the natural drying process. By centralising processing and rewarding only carefully selected ripe cherries, producers achieve greater consistency while supporting the livelihoods of the surrounding farming communities.
