this is a honey-processed guatemalan coffee from huehuetenango, a high-altitude region in the country's northwest known for distinct growing conditions. despite the name listing 'washed,' the supplied process is honey, meaning some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which tends to add body and sweetness. in the cup expect red apple and stone fruit alongside jasmine florals, with honey, honeycomb, and almond rounding out the finish. it suits filter brewing methods, where clarity and sweetness can both come through, so a pour-over or drip brewer at moderate temperature will let the fruit and floral notes develop without muddying the almond and honey finish.
