The Coffee: A multi-varietal natural coffee roasted medium, this one's a moderately bodied, fruit-forward cup. A clear delivery with a creamy texture El Porvenir natural offers up notes of black cherry, molasses, berries, milk chocolate, and a winey finish. This coffee really shines in direct immersion (french press/siphon pot) formats and can be dialed in as a drip/pour option-with chemex brewer our favorite. Given proper rest this coffee produces a great espresso too.

The Producer: Cooperativa El Porvenir, consisting of nine farming families, are behind this natural coffee. All grown in the Santa Rosa Department, located around Laguna de Ayarza, in South East Guatemala. Their farms utilize shade grown practices to maximize sugar production in the cherries, leading to their ultimate goal, yields of specialty grade red and yellow Catuaí, Pache, Caturra and red and yellow Bourbon.
