The Process:
Natural (or sundried) processing is the most traditional processing method for coffee! In Natural processing the whole cherry is left on the coffee and is placed on flat raised beds or patios to fully dry out (think turning the coffee cherries into little coffee raisins!). While natural processing can take longer than some other processing methods it can be a more accessible processing method for smaller producers while still having those complex fruity notes that the Little Bear team loves.

About the Producers:
The Cordillera Apaneca is a mountain range located in the western part of El Salvador, near the border of Honduras. The region is known for its high-quality coffee production and is home to a number of small coffee farmers. The coffee grown in this region is typically shade-grown, where coffee plants are grown under the canopy of taller trees, which provides habitat for a variety of wildlife and helps to protect the soil. This exceptional Geisha lot comes from the fertile highlands of Chalchuapa, El Salvador, where rich volcanic soils and a temperate climate create ideal conditions for cultivating one of the world’s most celebrated coffee varieties. Known for its unmistakable aromatics and refined cup profile, Geisha continues to stand as a benchmark for specialty coffee excellence—yet each region brings its own expression. This lot showcases the elegance of Geisha while reflecting the distinct terroir of western El Salvador.
