Guatemala — Finca Gascón

Each sip of this Catuai lot is so smooth and fruity, you can tell the cherries were dried whole just right. I brewed it as a pour-over and the sweetness carried through from first taste to the last drop. Definitely ordering another bag.

The cherries being dried whole really comes through in the cup—it's got this deep, fruity sweetness that feels almost jammy. I brewed it in my pour-over and the body was surprisingly smooth, no harsh edges at all. Definitely my favorite bag this month.

I was skeptical about a natural-processed Catuai at first, but drying the whole cherries really paid off — the cup is incredibly clean with a syrupy sweetness that lingers. This one’s a keeper for slow weekend pour-overs.
