guatemala coffee
by farmers union coffee roasters · eugene, usa
you'll taste stone fruit before honey. this is san carlos, guatemala, a honey guatemala from farmers union coffee roasters.
san carlos is described as stone fruit, honey, and honeycomb. the honey process reinforces that sweetness by leaving fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, so the cup tends to feel naturally sweet and rounded rather than sharp or bright.
it is a bourbon varietal grown in the antigua region of guatemala and processed using the honey method, meaning the skin is removed but some of the sticky fruit mucilage is left on the bean as it dries, which adds body and sweetness to the final cup.
a pour-over or drip filter method works well here, giving enough control to draw out the stone fruit and honeycomb notes without overextracting the natural sweetness. keep your water temperature in the mid range and avoid pushing extraction too long.
