the guatemala guaya'b fair trade organic is a honey-processed coffee from huehuetenango, guatemala, roasted by dear deer coffee roasting bar in ellerslie. honey processing, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, gives it a natural sweetness and body that shows up in the cup as caramel, honey, and honeycomb alongside cocoa and almond. the floral and fruit side comes through as jasmine, lemon, and a winey brightness. because of that fruit-forward, sweet profile, it rewards a pour-over or filter brew where clarity and sweetness can both come through, keeping grind size medium and water around 93°c.

common questions

What does (BEANS OF THE MONTH) Guatemala Guaya'b Fair Trade Organic taste like?

expect a cup that moves between floral jasmine and lemon brightness on one side and caramel, honey, honeycomb, cocoa, and almond on the other, with a winey quality that ties them together. the honey process gives it a natural sweetness and a slightly fuller body than a washed coffee from the same region.

How is (BEANS OF THE MONTH) Guatemala Guaya'b Fair Trade Organic grown and processed?

it's grown in huehuetenango, guatemala, and carries both fair trade and organic certification. it's processed using the honey method, meaning some of the fruit mucilage remains on the bean during drying, which contributes to its sweetness and body.

How should I brew (BEANS OF THE MONTH) Guatemala Guaya'b Fair Trade Organic?

a filter or pour-over method works well here, as it lets the floral, lemon, and winey notes stay clear while the caramel and honey sweetness from the honey process comes through in the body. keep your grind medium and water just off the boil, around 93°c, to avoid muting the more delicate jasmine and lemon qualities.
