guatemala coffee
by building 3 coffee · colorado springs, usa
you'll taste stone fruit before caramel. this is campamento alto, a washed guatemala from building 3 coffee.
campamento alto offers stone fruit character alongside caramel sweetness, with the washed process keeping the cup clean and the flavours well-defined.
it's grown in guatemala using caturra and bourbon varietals and processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit skin and pulp before drying to produce a cleaner, brighter cup.
filter or pour-over brewing works well here, as these methods highlight the clarity and definition that the washed process produces, letting the stone fruit and caramel notes come through without interference.
...and that's the thing about coffee culture here. building 3 sits on north cascade, where the foothills start their gentle climb toward the mountains. you can feel the altitude working on your system, which makes finding a proper roaster all the more essential. they've carved out a reputation among people who know their beans from their blends. no pretense, just careful attention to what ends up in the cup. the regulars keep coming back because consistency matters when you're dealing with something as finicky as specialty coffee. mornings here have a different rhythm than what you'll find downtown. quieter, maybe. more focused on the actual coffee than the scene around it. their roasting approach leans toward bringing out what's already there in the beans rather than burying it under heavy manipulation. simple concept, harder execution than most places manage. the pour-over on a tuesday morning hits different when someone actually cares about water temperature.
