Perched at an astonishing 1,800 to 2,050 meters above sea level in San Juan Gascón, overlooking the historic valley of Antigua Guatemala, Finca Gascón is a boutique estate dedicated to precision agronomy and bioprocessing. Founded in 2012 by Gildardo Contreras after recognizing the exceptional microclimate and volcanic soil of the mountainside, the farm evolved into an experimental hub when his son Felipe stepped in to spearhead advanced fermentation models and on-farm bioprocessing.
Under their experimental "Magnos" program, this lot underwent a specialised Nitro Lactic Natural process. Ripe whole cherries are sealed in anaerobic environments flushed with nitrogen gas to completely displace oxygen, while encouraging lactic acid bacteria to thrive. This selective microbial environment slows cellular respiration and converts malic acidity into softer lactic acids, infusing the bean with silky mouthfeel and tropical fruit esters. Dried whole as a full natural, Gum Drop Buttons perfectly captures Finca Gascón’s mission: using cutting-edge bioprocesses to craft whimsical, competition-level cup profiles.…
