guatemala coffee
by brio coffeeworks · burlington, usa
you'll taste winey before caramel. this is guatemala gualvador, a natural guatemala from brio coffeeworks.
expect a winey, fruit-forward character from the natural process, backed by caramel, honey, honeycomb, and baking spice. the combination makes for a sweet, textured cup with some fermented-fruit depth.
it's a bourbon varietal sourced from guatemala and processed using the natural method, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried intact, which concentrates sugars and produces the winey, honeyed qualities in the cup.
this coffee works well with brew methods that highlight body and sweetness, such as french press, pour-over, or espresso. a medium-coarse grind and water around 93c is a sensible starting point for filter methods.
