Guatemala Finca De Dios Nacimiento Reserve represents a decade of partnership between Ruby Coffee Roasters and one of Fraijanes' most thoughtfully managed estates. Nacimiento—Spanish for "spring"—takes its name from the freshwater-fed river that runs through this elevated section of the Prentice family's farm. Grown in rich volcanic soil at high altitude, this medium roast showcases the precision that comes when agricultural engineering meets coffee science.
Tasting Notes
Expect brown sugar sweetness upfront, layered with bright cherry acidity and a finish that unfolds into dark chocolate and candied pecan. The body is medium and silky, with a clean, lingering sweetness that speaks to meticulous processing at the farm's spring-fed wet mill. This is a balanced, approachable cup that rewards attention—each sip reveals new dimensions as it cools.
Brew Methods
Nacimiento Reserve shines across brewing methods. As pour over (V60, Chemex), it reveals crystalline clarity and fruit-forward brightness. In a French press, the body deepens and the chocolate notes emerge more fully. For espresso, dial in for a sweet, syrupy shot with cherry and brown sugar at the forefront—exceptional in milk drinks where the caramelized pecan character plays beautifully against steamed dairy.
