guatemalan blonde is a light roast from union place coffee roasters, sourced from guatemala and processed using the natural method, where the coffee cherry dries around the bean before milling. that processing choice, combined with a light roast, keeps the cup clean and delicate, leaning toward black tea character with a tea-like body and gentle finish. because the roast is light, it rewards brew methods that highlight clarity and subtle flavour, such as pour over or filter drip. use water around 90-93°c and a medium-fine grind to coax out the nuance without bitterness.
