La Folie is one of the most illustrious coffee farms in Antigua, Guatemala. The property has been planted with coffee for 50 years, and meticulously cared for to ensure it is producing the highest quality. La Folie continues to improve its processing techniques, and their most recent innovation is the use of greenhouses to dry depulped coffee gradually in a controlled environment, and ensure a high level of consistency.
The Guatemala La Folie is a delicious representation of the balance and approachability found in coffees from Antigua. Bright and delicate Grapefruit hits you first, with the acidity lingering as the flavors evolve into sweet Marzipan, and Baker’s Chocolate. The La Folies has a medium body, with a smooth mouthfeel, and is a great option for anyone looking for an approachable single origin.
