Origin: Antigua, Guatemala
Roast: Filter
Producer: Felipe Contreras
Altitude: 1800 meters
Varietal: Caturra
Process: Yeast Fermentation


Guatemala is an origin that continues to surprise us. Having long been a part of our portfolio, coffee growers across the country are increasingly exploring new ways to create flavour. In 2024, we visited Finca Gascon to see some of the innovative methods introduced by the young producer Felipe Contreras.

This Rarity is unlike anything we have previously tasted from Guatemala. 'Yeast Fermentation' adds unique flavour - think sweet cherry candy meets vanilla rooibos tea.

David F. ★★★★★

Brewed a V60 last weekend and the yeast fermentation really shows—there's a subtle fruitiness up front that the Caturra varietal carries beautifully through the finish. The filter roast stays clean even as it cools, which is rare for me at this altitude.

John ★★★★★

The filter roast pulled through at 1800 meters with a clean, bright cup—the yeast process adds a subtle fruitiness that lingers nicely. I've brewed it both V60 and pour-over, and it stays sweet even as it cools.

Joshua ★★★★★

The yeast fermentation really shines through at 1800 meters—there's a subtle, almost wine-like brightness that I haven't gotten from other Guatemalan filters. Caturra varietal holds its sweetness even as it cools, which is rare for me. This one's earned a permanent spot in my morning rotation.
