Guatemala - Single Origin

 

TASTING NOTES:
full-bodied and juicy
hazelnut
butter caramel

A favourite and a must-try, this Guatemala has a full, juicy body that is complemented by sweet notes of caramel-covered nuts - a real treat! This complex sweetness is due in part to the tropical climate accompanied by imposing mountains and volcanoes that create a natural path for many bodies of water and streams, contributing to the high humidity and forest biomes.

Coffee shrubs and trees are grown on these volcanic slopes. The moisture-laden fog brings all sorts of water-soluble nutrients that nourish and enrich the soil and leaves, helping the berries mature at a progressive rate to encourage the sweetness mentioned above.

Most farmers harvest and process their own beans, as some regions are so remote that transportation and labour cannot reach them daily during the harvest season. Fortunately, they can use the fresh mountain water during the washing and milling process to prepare the beans for drying and sale.

This roast is best enjoyed as a pour-over and immersion. Espresso is recommended for those who appreciate a lighter-tasting espresso (or espresso-based drink).

Our single origin Guatemala is a medium roast of 16 on the Roast Scale and 67 on the Agtron Gourmet Scale established by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).
