Guatemala David Solano

This washed-process coffee from David Solano highlights that Concepción Buena Vista is not only known for experimental processing, it also excels at producing exceptionally clean, traditional coffees.

Grown under natural shade and on the farm’s varied terrain, the coffee trees develop with strong health and balance. Cherries are carefully harvested at peak ripeness (25–26° Brix), then thoroughly washed and sorted to ensure only the highest-quality fruit moves forward.

After depulping, the coffee undergoes a controlled 48-hour fermentation in open tanks a step where precision and experience are critical. Careful preparation helps maintain clean conditions and a balanced fermentation profile.

The coffee is then dried on patios for 7–10 days, with frequent turning throughout the day to ensure even drying and preserve clarity in the cup.

The result is a refined, well-structured coffee that reflects both technical expertise and a deep understanding of traditional washed processing.
