Guatemala Villaure Mosto Process
Guatemala Villaure Mosto Process
Processing: Mosto Anaerobic Process
Roast: Light
Tasting Notes: Coconut, Cantaloupe, Vanilla
Body: Syrupy with bright acidity
Just steps from where a future fountain is planned, a small structure holds several bright yellow barrels, each filled to the brim with coffee cherries. In these barrels, Rodin’s passion project—the Villaure Mosto Process—takes shape. This method is a unique twist on anaerobic fermentation, in which coffee ferments in airtight containers, devoid of oxygen, to develop distinctive flavors. The Mosto Process adds an intriguing step: as the whole cherries ferment, they naturally release juices during sugar breakdown. These juices are then reintroduced to a fresh batch of cherries, giving rise to the Mosto Process.
While many anaerobic methods can sometimes produce overpowering or imbalanced flavors, Rodin’s expert touch results in a cup that’s rich, bold, and beautifully balanced. With notes of coconut, cantaloupe, vanilla, and nutmeg wrapped in a smooth, full body, this coffee embodies the Villatoro family’s innovative spirit and commitment to redefining what coffee can be.

Since 2005, the Villatoros have stood as the cornerstone of our annual coffee offerings. Aurelio, Aracelli, Jenner, Rodin, and Crista, as a family, consistently elevate and refine their coffee production and operations, gaining global acclaim for their unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality coffee.
In 2017, Jenner and Rodin, in partnership with their cousin Dennis, acquired the Punta Del Cerro farm. Nestled in a mountain valley, the farm boasts white-faced cliffs that overlook the drying patios. Punta Del Cerro's expansive wet mill not only processes coffee from the farm itself but also handles coffee from their cousins' farms in the surrounding area.
