Story
Maracaturra is a hybrid of the giant Maragogype and the traditional Caturra varietal, and Juan Diego De La Cerda's Maracaturra from Finca El Socorro has won more top 3 Cup of Excellence awards than any other coffee from his farm. The varietal presents significant agronomic and processing challenges: it is susceptible to leaf rust and must be carefully monitored, yields remarkably low volumes, and the large seeds benefit from a slower, more gentle roast approach to evenly roast through the center. Grown at 1,850 MASL in Palencia's highland climate, this nano lot showcases the meticulous on-farm processing Juan Diego has refined since 1999, delivering complex flavors of tropical fruit, root beer, raisin bran, dates, and florals that justify its rarity and esteem.
