Ricardo Zelaya

Ricardo Zelaya's coffee comes from the Antigua region of Guatemala, with growing altitudes spanning 1200 to 1890 meters. The varietal landscape features dominant plantings of bourbon and caturra, alongside lesser amounts of pacas, villa sarchi, and pacamara. The process portfolio observed in the catalog is exclusively washed treatments across the recorded lots. The catalog footprint includes nine total coffees carrying an average Cherrybook Index of 54.9, distributed across six different roasters, with three lots currently in-stock. Recent catalog examples include the Guatemala Santa Clara Pacamara roasted by Dark Woods Coffee using the washed process, a decaf lot from Fantôme Café utilizing a blend of bourbon, caturra, pacas, and villa sarchi, and the Atlas lot from The Barn Coffee Roasters featuring caturra and bourbon. The work of Ricardo Zelaya in the catalog is characterized by a steady focus on traditional washed coffees from Antigua across a range of roaster partnerships.
