Guatemalan Premium Huehue. – Finca Villaure; Punta Del Cerro #3 – Washed Processed

$14.49

Low Stock Blowout – Only 23 Pounds left! $15.99 Regular Price
Best served in the light to medium roast range. A top shelf, rare example of traditional Huehue coffee. Lighter roasts are full of white wine like acidity and floral tones. Pulls some balance with a complex malty undertone, but just a hint. Lighter roasts will be all about the more acidic “lighter” toned components. We have not seen a clean Guat this sizzling or winy for quite some time. A great roast level but not for everyone. If you do not like more acidic/floral cups, bring it to a medium roast for much a smoother example. It will cut out the more blasty features and accentuate the richer darker tones. Darker roasts do work very well, that classic malty-ness mixing with roasty notes is quite tasty and the cup retains a sweet edge… but the cleanliness and brightness of this cup are what separates it from average, will get a bit lost at darker roasts.

Description

Finca Villaure is a famous Guatemalan coffee farm and for good reason. Very high elevation with award winning strains and processing. Owned and operated by multiple generations of the Villatoro family. Who also happen to be good friends with our buddies at Finca Vista Hermosa.

This is a one bag nano-lot, only 152 pounds, was created by Aurelio Villatoro himself. Containing only the best ripest beans from Punta Del Cerro, a separate prime growing field which is part of Finca Villaure, but not attached to the main farm. Processed by Aurelio himself. These beans are the perfect example of traditional Huehue coffee. Crazy clean and bright, very winy floral acidity balanced with complex malt like tones.

Tasting Notes: Best served in the light to medium roast range. A top shelf, rare example of traditional Huehue coffee. Lighter roasts are full of white wine like acidity and floral tones. Pulls some balance with a complex malty undertone, but just a hint. Lighter roasts will be all about the more acidic “lighter” toned components. We have not seen a clean Guat this sizzling or winy for quite some time. A great roast level but not for everyone. If you do not like more acidic/floral cups, bring it to a medium roast for much a smoother example. It will cut out the more blasty features and accentuate the richer darker tones. Darker roasts do work very well, that classic malty-ness mixing with roasty notes is quite tasty and the cup retains a sweet edge… but the cleanliness and brightness of this cup are what separates it from average, will get a bit lost at darker roasts.

Roasting Notes: An easy coffee to roast, beautiful prep and washed processed. Medium chaff levels. If shooting for lighter roasting, one can slow down the roast a bit to mute up a little brightness and winy factor, get a little less blasty and more complex lighter roast. Medium to dark, good to roast a bit quicker, retains a little more crispness increasing the complexity.

Mr. Aurelio Villatoro, had the privilege to be born in the coffee environment; as a child he devoted himself to his elementary, secondary and diversified studies. At the end he returned to “Finca La Esperanza”, owned by his father, to practice his profession as an Automotive Mechanic but with the hope of giving continuity to the coffee production and that was how in 1986 he founded his own farm “Villaure”, name that carries his surname and first name.

He started with a very small productive area but with enthusiasm, dedication and hard work, he came to increase its productivity. From 2002 to 2021, it has received several national and international awards for the excellent quality of its coffee. Currently, Mr. Villatoro feels very satisfied because his children Jenner Villatoro and Rodin Villatoro are giving continuity to the efforts that for years they have been making in the Guatemalan coffee industry, being the third generation in coffee.

This farm has the privilege of being located on the slopes of one of the three mountains that surround it, which causes a very special micro climate suitable for coffee plantations. Due to the topography of the land and its position, it receives abundant heat in the morning and in the afternoon the sun arrives with less intensity. This makes it different and unique in the quality of coffee.
