No.37 Guatemala Laforet

When you think of Guatemala, you probably think of a strong, bright acidity, right? This coffee made by Zelaya, who runs the Laforie Farm in the north of Antigua, central Guatemala, will surely overturn your conventional image. In a good way, of course. Its taste is rich and sweet, like milk caramel, with a round mouthfeel. We began working together in 2008, as we were inspired by his passion for coffee making, his wealth of knowledge and experience, and above all, his feelings about Antigua's coffee. That partnership continues to this day. (Oura Satoshi/Coffee Appraiser)
