Guatemala
Guatemala Antigua Coffee brings the volcanic soul of Antigua Guatemala right to your cup. This medium-roast bean is crafted for everyday, approachable sipping that still delivers depth and character for when you want a coffee with a story.
Origin, People, and Place Grown by dedicated smallholder farmers from Antigua in Guatemala’s highlands, this coffee benefits from elevations of 1200–1616 meters and volcanic loam soil. The combination of classic Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, and Typica varieties offers a nuanced balance of sweetness and structure that speaks to its origin with clarity and charm.
Roast, Process, and Flavor Medium roast with a fully washed, sun-dried process. This method preserves the coffee’s origin character while delivering precise clarity, lively acidity, and well-defined flavors. Expect a cup that is bright, clean, and distinctly Antigua in profile.
Tasting Notes Each sip centers a dark chocolate core, bright fruit accents, and a whisper of butterscotch on the finish. The chocolate backbone provides grounding richness, while the Antigua fruit notes add lively brightness and a sweet, lingering aftertaste that invites the next sip.
Brewing, Use Cases, and Flavor Performance This coffee truly shines with filter methods—pour-over, drip, or Clever-style brews—allowing the brightness and fruit notes to fully open. It also performs beautifully as a well-balanced espresso, where chocolate and fruit emerge in a smooth, medium-bodied shot—excellent for milk-forward drinks or a polished single-origin lineup.
Grind and Temperature Guidance
- Pour-over and drip: grind medium.
- Espresso: grind slightly finer to emphasize body.
- Water temperature: 92–96°C (198–205°F).
- Bloom: 30–45 seconds to unlock sweetness and clarity.
Ideal For Coffee lovers who want a recognizable Antigua profile without harsh acidity or overpowering fruit. It’s perfect for morning rituals, office setups, or weekend brew sessions when you crave a dependable, flavor-rich cup that tells a story of its origin.
Freshness, Storage, and Care Store in an airtight container, away from light and heat. For optimal flavor, grind just before brewing and use within weeks of the roast date to preserve the bright notes and creamy butterscotch finish.
Why Choose this Guatemala Coffee This Antigua interpretation emphasizes clarity and balance—bright yet grounded, with a memorable chocolate-forward core and a hint of fruit that elevates everyday drinking into a small ceremony.
