guatemala coffee
by quists coffee · melbourne, australia
you'll taste stone fruit before tropical fruit. this is guatemala el boqueron natural- 250g, a natural guatemala from quists coffee.
it leads with stone fruit, tropical fruit, and raisin, then moves into caramel, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and cocoa. the natural process gives it a sweeter, fuller character than a washed guatemalan would typically have.
the coffee comes from guatemala and is processed using the natural method, meaning the coffee cherries are dried whole before the fruit is removed. this extended contact between the bean and the fruit skin contributes to the pronounced sweetness and fruity complexity in the cup.
brewing methods that suit fuller-bodied, naturally processed coffees, such as french press or pour-over, will serve this coffee well. keep water temperature around 90-93°c and grind fresh to balance the fruit-forward top notes against the darker chocolate and cocoa base.
