this coffee's story

Anacafé 14 is a hybrid Arabica variety with roots in Guatemala. Discovered by farmer Francisco Manchamé in the Chiquimula department, it emerged from a natural cross between a Catimor-type variety and Pacamara. After years of careful selection, it was officially released by the National Coffee Association of Guatemala (ANACAFÉ) in 2014.

For this lot, cherries are harvested at peak ripeness, floated to remove defects, and rested overnight in concrete tanks before being meticulously depulped. A two-day sun-drying phase intensifies the coffee’s fruit-forward notes, while the remainder of the drying process in shade refines its balance and depth.

Full-bodied and syrupy, with a lively fruit character. Expect caramel sweetness, bright citrus notes of lemon and orange, and a lingering, winey complexity.
