Pour a handful into your palm and the size is almost comical: nearly double the bean you're used to. That size is a gift and a headache, big beans roast unevenly and scorch if you rush them, which is exactly why so few roasters bother. We thought this one was worth the trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt comes from Mario Alarcón's Monte de Oro farm — the \"Mountain of Gold\" — high in Guatemala's Acatenango region, where volcanic soil and a cool microclimate slow everything down. Mario processed this lot naturally, drying the cherries whole to build sweetness and body, and we roasted it light to keep every note intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the cup, it opens on \u003cstrong\u003eblood orange,\u003c\/strong\u003e juicy and bright, with the faint bitter edge that sets it apart from lemon or grapefruit. Underneath sits fresh \u003cstrong\u003ecacao nib\u003c\/strong\u003e, then \u003cstrong\u003emilk chocolate\u003c\/strong\u003e rounding it out, with a clean finish closer to sugarcane than caramel. Give it time to cool and it unfolds: several registers of citrus and chocolate, and a soft \u003cstrong\u003efloral lift\u003c\/strong\u003e at the very end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIts sister lot:\u003c\/em\u003e our \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/products\/gesha-monte-de-oro\" title=\"Gesha Monte De Oro Coffee by Lavender Coffee\"\u003eGesha Monte de Oro\u003c\/a\u003e is from the same farm and same producer, but a completely different cup.
