Guatemala Single Origin

Guatemala Single Origin

Guatemala is a bright and fruit-forward coffee with a clean, balanced structure. Green apple sweetness leads the cup, complemented by soft stone fruit and lively acidity. A gentle honey sweetness develops through the cup and remains on a clean, lingering finish.

Its medium body keeps the coffee balanced and approachable, making it particularly well suited to filter brewing while remaining versatile enough for espresso.
