Guatemala: Finca Vallaure, Huehuetenango

Perched in Huehuetenango’s dry, windy Cuchumatán range, Finca Vallaure benefits from cool nights and sun‑washed days that slow ripening and build dense SHB parchment. Selective handpicking and meticulous washed processing keep the profile pristine. At a measured medium roast, the cup centers on milk chocolate and cane‑caramel over a tidy cocoa frame, brightened by orange zest and a gentle red‑apple note. Acidity lands medium and precise, guiding a silky, rounded mouthfeel. Expect a crisp, cane‑sweet finish with subtle cocoa persistence—an elegant, dependable expression shaped by altitude, steady mountain drying, and estate‑level attention to detail.
