The washed Vista Al Bosque brings an outstanding cup of coffee with caramel-sweet and tart notes, with dominante, bakes apple notes, all the way from the caramel sauce to sweet caramelized apple bites and hints of cinnamon and clover honey. This Guatemala also shares notes of chocolate chip on the aftertaste and the complexity of tart cranberry acidity, especially when it cools down, tart cranberry stands out more from the cup.

Vista Al Bosque (translation: Overlooking the forest) is a farm run under Wilmar Castillo supervision, who has been working in coffee since he was six years old, tagging along with his father and three older brothers, the family worked hard on farms from their home in La Libertad throughout Huehuetenango. Vista Al Bosque sits along the verdant ridges of the valley neighboring two of his brother’s lots, and Wilmar manages the land along with his wife and teenage son. He and the family are an absolute joy to work with, Wilmar is quality-focused, affable, and hilarious. And it doesn't hurt that the coffee slays every season. Some of the earliest memories Wilmar shares include his father’s passion and care for coffee. Everything he learned during those hard years he attributes to his success now, and he is set on providing a brighter future for his family. Looking back, Wilmar knew he would end up in Hoja Blanca. Stories were passed around about this little valley, folks calling it a blessed land. He finally convinced the family to move about 14 years ago, and is so glad for that.

We bought this coffee along with another washed Guatemala La Inteligencia from Onyx Guatemala during the end of the summer, when volcanoes caused many wildflowers in Guatemala, our hearts were hurt to find out how many of Guatemala coffee grows were affected, causing a huge loss to farmers and economic within Guatemala too
