costa maya is a guatemalan coffee from ixxa coffee roasters & plant shop, processed using the honey method, which leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying. that process gives it a naturally sweet, fruit-forward character, showing up here as red apple, honey, and honeycomb alongside milk and dark chocolate. roasted to a medium level, it sits in a balanced middle ground, neither too bright nor too heavy. it suits filter brewing well, where its sweetness and fruit clarity can open up, though it will also pull a clean, chocolatey espresso.
