you'll taste lemon before winey. this is (beans of the month) guatemala guaya'b fair trade organic, a honey guatemala from dear deer coffee roasting bar pakuranga.
it has bright lemon and winey fruit up front, floral and jasmine character in the middle, and a sweet finish of caramel, honey, honeycomb, cocoa, and almond. the honey process adds noticeable sweetness and body that runs through the whole cup.
the coffee is grown in huehuetenango, guatemala, and carries fair trade and organic certification. it is honey processed, meaning the sticky fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying rather than being fully washed off.
filter brew methods such as pour over or batch filter will highlight the lemon brightness and jasmine floral notes clearly. if you prefer milk drinks, the caramel and honeycomb sweetness are strong enough to come through in a flat white.
and that's exactly what you find tucked away on gossamer drive in pakuranga heights. dear deer coffee roasting bar operates with the kind of quiet confidence that comes from knowing your beans inside out. they roast their own coffee here, which means you're getting something that was probably still green beans just days ago. the regulars who keep coming back aren't chasing trends or instagram moments. they want coffee that tastes like someone actually cares about the process from bean to cup. pakuranga heights isn't the first neighborhood you'd think of for specialty coffee, but that's probably why dear deer works so well. no pressure to be anything other than what they are: a roastery that happens to serve excellent coffee to anyone willing to make the drive. your best bet is their single origin pour-over on a tuesday morning.
