This Guatemala blend is sourced from the highlands, combining coffees from Huehuetenango, San Marcos, and Nuevo Oriente. The coffees are washed and fermented for about 24 hours, then patio dried for a little over a week. The cup profile is very sweet upfront with light fruit character and a clean finish, suitable for espresso or regular brewing.
