ROAST PROFILE
When roasted light to medium roast, this Guatemalan coffee brews a complex cup with underlying caramel sweetness with tea-like accent notes and an acidity that has a tangy blackberry, candied citrus quality.
The finish is clean, no nutty or dry aspects, and a candied citrus note is a highlight in the finish.
Full City roasts develop layers of dark toffee sweetness flavors with a raisin and blackberry jam fruits note laced in. A really versatile Guatemalan coffee that will yield a sweet, complex cup of coffee at a wide range of roasts.
FARM PROFILE
Guatemalan coffee is arguably the crown jewel of Central America.
Our Guatemalan coffee is farmed by the Zelaya family which is best known for producing some of the best specialty coffees in Guatemala.
The farm is located in Antigua, a region that sits between three volcanoes (Fuego, Acatenango & Agua). The
Fuego volcano is continuously active and deposits a fresh layer of ash rich in soil-nourishing minerals all around the valley
.
In Antigua, shade is especially dense to protect the coffee plants from the region’s occasional frost.
Antigua Guatemala coffee is known for having a full and velvety body, a rich and lively aroma, and a fine acidity.
