The full story
Guatemala Single Origin — Layered, Bright, and Smooth
A washed coffee from the highlands of one of the world's most celebrated growing regions, roasted light so the origin does the talking. Deep cocoa richness meets the jammy sweetness of fig, all wrapped in a warm brown sugar finish. It rewards attention from the first sip — bright enough to keep the palate engaged, smooth enough to drink all morning. Sold as 12 oz whole bean.
Flavor Profile
- Deep Cocoa — rich and grounding up front
- Jammy Fig — subtle fruit sweetness through the mid-cup
- Brown Sugar — a warm, clean, lingering finish
A layered, satisfying cup that feels vibrant without ever turning acidic. The balance between cocoa depth and fruit sweetness is what makes this origin special.
Why You'll Love It
- Layered and complex — cocoa, fig, and brown sugar with real depth
- Washed process, light roast — clean and clear, the way a single origin should be
- Roasted weekly — small-batch on American-made equipment in Clovis, California
- Shipped fresh — within days of roasting
- Perfect for clarity brewing — pour-over, Chemex, and AeroPress
Best Brewing Methods
These beans shine with methods that highlight clarity and nuance — pour-over, Chemex, AeroPress, and drip. The body is bright and clean, so a slower pour rate lets the fig sweetness and cocoa depth develop fully in the cup. For step-by-step ratios, see our guide to brewing better coffee at home.
Brewing Tips for the Best Cup
- Medium-fine grind for pour-over or AeroPress
- Brew between 195°F and 205°F
- Allow a 30-second bloom before continuing your pour
- Pour slowly and steadily to develop the fig sweetness fully
Patience during the pour matters here — the brown sugar finish becomes noticeably more pronounced with a slower approach.
The Story
Guatemala has long been celebrated for some of the most complex and rewarding single origins in the world. The highland growing conditions create a natural brightness and layered sweetness that's hard to find elsewhere. We roast these beans lightly so the terroir stays intact — every cup highlights the origin, not the roast. Roasted weekly in small batches in Clovis, California.

The roaster
Roasted by a chef.
