Lake Atitlán’s Single Origin Microlot
High-Altitude Adjustments: These beans are grown at 1,500–1,800m, meaning they’re dense and require careful heat control. Start with high initial heat, then gradually slow down.
First Crack Timing: Aim for 8–11 minutes to first crack for a well-developed roast.
Cooling & Resting: Rest for at least 48–72 hours post-roast to allow degassing and flavor maturation.
