san carlos is a honey-processed bourbon from antigua, guatemala, roasted by farmers union coffee roasters. antigua's high-altitude growing conditions suit bourbon well, producing a dense, sweet bean. honey processing, which leaves some fruit mucilage on the seed during drying, tends to carry that sweetness into the cup, here showing up as stone fruit, honey, and honeycomb. it brews cleanly as a filter or works well as a pour-over, where the slower extraction lets the fruit and floral qualities develop without muddiness. expect a soft, rounded body with a naturally sweet finish.
