We’ve been offering coffees from Ricardo Zelaya at Santa Clara farm every year since 2009. Ricardo’s family has a long history of coffee production in Guatemala’s famous Antigua growing region and, as a fourth-generation producer, he continues that legacy with great passion, enthusiasm and care.
This single-estate espresso was processed using the natural method. The ripe coffee cherries were selectively hand-picked by highly trained workers, washed and then laid out to dry in a custom-built greenhouse. Over the next three weeks, the cherries were regularly turned to ensure a uniform and thorough dry.
Drying his coffee in a greenhouse environment enables Ricardo to check and adjust all the different variables – including humidity levels, temperature and wind flow – to achieve the perfect level of fermentation. The result of all this attentive work is a beautifully balanced espresso that’s sweet, rich and winey in the cup.
