Why some details are blank
  • variety idPartners documents a real identity dispute between yellow Caturra and yellow Catuaí; “nance” is only the lot nickname, so no variety record was linked or created.
  • altitude mThe farm is described across a 1,700–1,800 m range rather than a single point elevation; no midpoint was invented.
  • fermentation durationThe source confirms fermentation at Beneficio La Esperanza but does not publish duration, vessel, or atmosphere.
  • drying durationSlow patio sun-drying is documented, but the number of days and target moisture are not published.
  • harvestThe reviewed official pages do not publish a precise harvest date or crop-year notation for this release.

From the producer

Higinio and Aura Gómez established Las Moritas in 1988; the 70-hectare family farm has 56 hectares planted with coffee.

From the roaster

Partners Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roaster established in 2012 that focuses on providing approachable, high-quality specialty coffee through direct relationships with producers.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The lot documents a genuine unresolved cultivar question. “Nance” describes the fruit's appearance; it is not being presented here as a verified botanical variety.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Harvest and transport

Yellow-fruiting coffee was harvested at Las Moritas and trucked to Antigua for processing.

02
Washed processing

Beneficio La Esperanza depulped, fermented and washed the coffee.

03
Drying

The washed parchment was slowly sun-dried on a large patio.

What was added?

Nothing documented.

What wasn't added?

No flavoring or fruit was documented.

Why it matters

The traditional washed process emphasizes the lot's sweet, round profile and gentle sparkling acidity.

What you might taste

Pineapple, brown sugar, cola, molasses, pear, orange zest and warm spice.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
