From the producer

Partners Coffee identifies Proyectos del Pacifico, S.A. as the producer for this archived Santa Elisa release. Los Volcanes Coffee is documented as the management and processing partner, and Beneficio La Esperanza handled post-harvest work.

From the roaster

Partners Coffee offered this historical seasonal single origin through its long-running Los Volcanes relationship.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A large Acatenango estate that rose from roughly 700 quintales of cherry in 2017 to about 34,000 after infrastructure and management changes; this release isolates its Red Bourbon.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Harvest and transport

Coffee is harvested at Santa Elisa and trucked to Beneficio La Esperanza in Antigua.

02
Ash removal

Cherries are rinsed carefully before depulping because volcanic ash can interfere with equipment.

03
Fully wash

The coffee follows a conventional depulped, fermented and washed sequence; duration is unpublished.

04
Patio dry

Washed parchment is meticulously dried on La Esperanza's patios.

What was added?

No fruit, culture or flavoring is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No co-ferment ingredient or post-roast flavoring is reported.

Why it matters

Careful ash removal protects equipment and lot cleanliness before washed processing.

What you might taste

Blood orange, tangerine, brown sugar, caramel, sugar cookie and subtle florals.
