This coffee is a Single Origin from Guatemala, specifically Huehuetenango. The lot uses a black honey processing method, which tends to increase body and complexity. In the cup, expect a rich, sweet profile with milk chocolate and toasted almond, followed by plum jam notes as the cup cools. The espresso notes include plum jam with rich dark chocolate and toffee tones.
