Flavor & Use

This naturally anaerobically processed Catuai from El Jardín farm offers high sweetness and elegant fruitiness. The flavor includes red currants, juicy cherries, and a hint of citrus freshness. The coffee is beautifully balanced, and its profile shines both as a filter brew and as a juicy, intensely sweet espresso. It is ideal for festive mornings, long winter evenings, and as a gift for lovers of complex, clean natural coffees.

About the Region

El Jardín farm is located at altitudes of 1,400–1,650 m in the La Paz – Ojos de Agua area, on the edge of the Montecillos nature reserve. This area is known for its mountainous terrain, dense vegetation, and microclimate with shorter sunlight hours, which slows cherry ripening and allows deeper, more concentrated flavors to develop. The Mejía Rodriguez family has been growing coffee for four generations and now focuses on producing high-quality microlots for specialized markets. The farm maintains balance with nature — combining organic matter from coffee processing with fertilizers, planting shade trees to preserve water, and minimizing erosion during heavy winter rains.

About Processing

This coffee is processed using the natural anaerobic method. Hand-picked ripe cherries ferment in a sealed environment without oxygen, creating an intensely fruity and sweet profile. The cherries are then dried whole on raised beds, regularly turned to ensure even fermentation and preserve cup clarity. The result is a highly sweet, juicy, and aromatic coffee that shines in both filter preparations and espresso.
