guatemala finca medina antigua is a bourbon varietal grown in antigua, one of guatemala's most established coffee regions, and processed using the honey method, which leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying. that process shapes a cup that leans sweet and textured, with honey, honeycomb, and baking spice coming through clearly. the spice character adds a dry, warm edge that keeps it from being one-dimensional. it suits filter brewing well, where the honey process sweetness and spice can express themselves without being muted, though it should also work as a medium-pressure espresso if pulled with care.
