Meaning “The Hope” in English, the farm’s name reflects how important coffee growing is for them. Francisco’s curiosity and commitment to improving quality has earned him several prizes in the Huehuetenango Highland competitions. This year, he dried the parchment coffee under shade nets to slow the drying process, with the aim of enhancing flavour and extending the coffee’s shelf life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eProcess\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis lot is produced by Francisco Morales and his son Elmer, who oversees the drying of the natural process coffee. After harvesting, ripe cherries are placed in clean water to remove floaters before being spread across raised drying beds in an enclosed structure behind the family home. The beds are arranged across three levels, each drying at a different rate. To ensure even drying, Elmer regularly turns the cherries and rotates the beds between levels each day. Drying lasts 12–15 days until the coffee reaches its ideal moisture content.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrancisco Morales\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Huehuetenango, Guatemala\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,600 - 1,700 masl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mixed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Natural\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrew\u003c\/strong\u003e: Espresso\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Roasting Shed Limited","offers":[{"title":"200g \/ Whole bean","offer_id":56968396538242,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Cafetière","offer_id":56968396571010,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Filter \/ V60","offer_id":56968396603778,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Aeropress","offer_id":56968396636546,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Stovetop","offer_id":56968396669314,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Espresso","offer_id":56968396702082,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole bean","offer_id":56968396734850,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Cafetière","offer_id":56968396767618,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Filter \/ V60","offer_id":56968396800386,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Aeropress","offer_id":56968396833154,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Stovetop","offer_id":56968396865922,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Espresso","offer_id":56968396898690,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3815\/3632\/files\/SignatureEspressoWebshots.png?v=1792496264","url":"https:\/\/theroastingshed.com\/products\/la-esperanza-espresso-guatemala","provider":"The Roasting Shed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
