guatemala coffee
by zab café · montreal, canada
expect caramel. this is guatemala - famille lemus, a washed guatemala from zab café.
this coffee is described as tasting of caramel, offering a sweet, smooth character in the cup. the washed process keeps the flavour clean and straightforward rather than fruity or complex.
it is grown in guatemala and processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed from the coffee cherry before the beans are dried. this tends to result in a cleaner, more consistent flavour profile.
no specific brew method has been listed for this coffee, so it can be prepared as filter or espresso depending on your setup. controlling grind size and water temperature will help highlight the caramel sweetness without introducing bitterness.
the smell hits you first on rue saint-denis. that deep, earthy scent of beans roasted with actual intention. zab café doesn't mess around with the science of coffee, and their 4.8-star rating from 224 google reviews tells you locals have noticed. this isn't another sterile chain pumping out burnt mediocrity. walk in and you'll find the kind of place where baristas actually taste what they're making, where the grind gets adjusted throughout the day as humidity changes. the regulars don't come for instagram shots. they come because someone here gives a damn about extraction times and water temperature. montreal has plenty of coffee shops. few understand that good coffee starts with caring about every variable from bean selection to cup temperature. zab gets it. that's why the same faces show up morning after morning, trading their hard-earned dollars for something that tastes like coffee should taste.
