They were the first producers we ever bought from directly in Guatemala, and they just keep getting more awesome each year. This season we've purchased three lots of delicious Guatemalan single origin coffee from El Limón. This lot is a Natural Process Caturra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOn The Farm\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTucked into the rolling hills of Palencia, just a short drive east of Guatemala City, lies San Patricio El Limón. This Guatemalan specialty coffee farm has been owned and operated since the late 1990s by Guadalupe \"Beto\" Reyes and his family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEl Limón spans 18 hectares and sits at an altitude of 1,350-1,850 metres above sea level. The farm mainly produces Caturra and Bourbon but has also started growing SL28, H1, H3, Maracaturra, Maragogype, Geisha, Pacamara, Caturra, and Catuaí (Yellow and Red). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its high altitudes, volcanic soils, and temperate climate, Palencia has all the natural ingredients required for producing exceptional coffee, despite not being one of Guatemala’s eight officially recognised coffee-growing regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMeticulous Milling\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dedication and care devoted to each stage of production is reflected in the fact that the family also operates its own wet mill, allowing them to separate different lots and maintain full control over coffee quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey have the capacity to process multiple lots simultaneously while keeping separate days' pickings, processing methods, and varietals isolated within their own individual parcels. The wet mill also benefits the wider local community, with neighbouring producers from the Palencia region bringing their coffees to be processed there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, El Limón has become one of our favourite producer relationships. We believe this farm is a shining example of what happens when passion, innovation, and collaboration come together. Beto’s approach to specialty coffee is rooted in care and curiosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo dive deeper into the story of Beto and El Limón, check out our Producer Story here: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozonecoffee.co.uk\/pages\/coffee-producer-the-reyes-family\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Reyes Family Producer Story\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraceability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry: \u003cstrong\u003eGuatemala\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Palencia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarm: \u003cstrong\u003eSan Patricio El Limón\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProducers: The Reyes Family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAltitude: 1,350-1,850 m.a.s.l.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoffee growing area: 9 hectares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarietal: \u003cstrong\u003eCaturra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessing method: \u003cstrong\u003eNatural\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCupping Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes: Black cherry yoghurt, plum, almond\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCup of Excellence Cupping Scores\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean cup: 6.5\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweetness: 7\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity: 6\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthfeel: 6\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlavour: 7\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAftertaste: 6.5\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalance: 6.5\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall: 6.5\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrection: +36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal: 88\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf you'd like to find out more about how we score coffees, make sure to read our blog post “\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozonecoffee.co.uk\/blogs\/journal\/what-do-coffee-cupping-scores-actually-mean\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWhat Do Coffee Cupping Scores Actually Mean?\u003c\/a\u003e” and if you'd like to try cupping yourself, we've got a guide to that too!\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozonecoffee.co.uk\/blogs\/journal\/coffee-cupping\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWhat is Coffee Cupping\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoast Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium-dark \u003c\/strong\u003e- this coffee needs steady, consistent heat through the gap and taking it into the first pops of second should get you where you need to be.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Resting Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur coffee is roasted fresh and ships quickly – which means it might arrive a little lively.
