We're delighted to have Finca La Tormenta coffee with us for a second year. Located in the heart of Guatemala's magnificent Sierra de las Minas National Park. Grown by the Cheves family, this coffee reflects sustainable farming practices that respect the natural environment.
It's an honor to pay tribute to Don Rodrigo, the producer behind this coffee. His dream was to create a competitive coffee. This dream came true last year when he sent his coffee to the regional competition, where it won the prize for best honey coffee, a moment of great pride. Sadly, Don Rodrigo passed away shortly after this victory.
This coffee was crowned best honey coffee with a tasting score of 88.75. Grown from the Sarchí variety, you'll find notes of clementine and floral hints, accompanied by a pleasant acidity.
Espresso recipe
Although we recommend a poured infusion to take full advantage of the coffee's aromas, here's an espresso recipe that brings out the fruity side without too much acidity:
18 g coffee
45 g extraction
All in 30 seconds
Recipe for pour over
For pour-over, we got our best results with NextLevel Pulsar. So here's the single-serving recipe we preferred for extracting it:
15 g coffee
Water at 202 degrees Fahrenheit (94 degrees Celcius)
Bloom 40ml for 30 seconds
Total volume 240 ml (in two 100 ml instalments after blooming)
