Guatemala La Nueva Montaña Natural Farmlevel Reserve
This one comes in a 5.29-ounce bag, whole bean only, so think of it as a special-occasion pick. The notes read yellow plum, Rainier cherry and orange wine. It's a natural-process Maracaturra, roasted light and to order. Small bag, big fruit.
Pick it if yellow plum, Rainier cherry and orange wine sound good to you.
Best for Curious drinkers who want a small bag of something fruity

All fruit: lemon citrus, strawberry and grapefruit. A natural Pacamara from Finca Las Mercedes, grown at 1,800 meters and roasted light. It's organic and direct trade, in an 8-ounce bag. Bright and berry-led, if the notes hold.
