Why This Coffee Tastes This Way
This Guatemala coffee stands out through a documented two-region identity: Antigua and Huehuetenango ; plus APCE sourcing, natural processing and a published profile that joins blackberry, jasmine and bergamot with black tea, citrus zest and dark chocolate. The result is described as juicy and balanced rather than purely light or floral.
Recommended Brewing
-
V60: A strong starting point for separating blackberry, citrus zest and floral detail.
-
Chemex: Useful when you want a cleaner presentation of the black-tea and bergamot side.
-
AeroPress / Kalita Wave: Flexible routes for balancing body, sweetness and brightness.
-
Espresso: Suitable when you want a brighter specialty shot; adjust the recipe to the coffee rather than forcing a standard espresso profile.
1718 Brewing Tip: Start with a clean filter recipe you already know, then adjust one variable at a time. This makes it easier to decide whether you want more berry sweetness, tea-like clarity or body.
