Since 1904, Santa Felisa Estate has been guided by the hands of the Meneses family. Today, siblings Anabella and Antonio carry the legacy forward, uniting time-honored practices with innovative processing techniques to produce coffees of exceptional character.
Grown in the Acatenango Valley, Santa Felisa's coffees benefit from an ideal mix of cool mountain breezes, warm days, and crisp Pacific evenings. This unique climate helps concentrate sugars in the fruit, resulting in dense, sweet beans with vibrant flavor.
Cherries are selectively handpicked only at peak ripeness, then rested through an extended natural fermentation that draws out deeper complexity before drying slowly on raised beds under careful, even airflow.
This lot showcases Sudan Rume, a rare heirloom variety tracing back to South Sudan's Boma Plateau, predating even Bourbon and Typica. Genetically wild and largely untouched by modern breeding, it's notoriously low-yielding and difficult to grow, which is exactly why so few farms bother. The reward is a cup of remarkable depth: layered, aromatic, and entirely its own.
