Guatemala: Finca La Bolsa Natural Pacamara
White peach, raspberry, strawberry, good times — It tastes like Summer!
FIRST ROAST: 6/12
It is a full-on thrill for us to offer this coffee since Chuck started working with Finca La Bolsa way back in 2008/9.
Jorge Vides founded Finca La Bolsa in La Libertad, Huehuetenango in 1958. A doctor by trade, Jorge started in coffee as a hobby but it gradually grew into a business and eventually he was able to merge his passions: health and coffee. He dedicated himself to improving the lives of his employees and surrounding communities while also producing some seriously fantastic coffee.
Their coffees consistently make the cut for the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition and this Pacamara is no exception, scoring 87.75 points in the Exotic Naturals category for the 2025 competition.
This lot is an anaerobic natural. HUH? What is an anaerobic natural, you say? Well, let us explain: As soon as the ripe cherries were picked, they were placed in sealed bags and allowed to ferment for 90 hours then carefully dried on raised beds under the watchful eye of project manager Juan Jose Ariano (pictured with the 2025 Cup of Excellence trophy).
The added fermentation step creates a coffee with a bit more fruit and one that is cleaner than a traditionally dry-processed/natural coffee.
In the cup, white peach, raspberry, strawberry, sugar cane, productivity and dreams fulfilled.
The coffee demonstrates exceptional clarity.
After you brew it you will ask yourself, “Wait, did that really happen?” “Was that a fever dream?” Well, we can’t answer that. All we can say is, yes. Yes, you need to drink this.
The La Bolsa team meticulously hand-sorted for us in Guatemala City prior to sending the rest of the lot in for the Cup of Excellence.
Please note: To ensure we have time to dial in the perfect roasting profile for this coffee, our first official roast will be on 6/12. If you order this coffee plus other coffee from us, you entire order will be shipped after we roast this one on 6/12. Thank you!
