guatemala huehuetenango from short sleeves coffee is a washed single-origin grown across caturra, pacamara, bourbon, and typica varietals in one of guatemala's highest and most isolated coffee-producing regions. the washed process strips the cherry cleanly before drying, which tends to sharpen clarity in the cup. expect lemon and jasmine up front, a floral lift through the middle, and milk chocolate to dark chocolate in the finish. because the flavors are clean and layered, this coffee rewards brew methods that highlight clarity, such as pour-over or aeropress, where water temperature and ratio can be dialed in without muddying the delicate floral and citrus notes.
