El Carmen - Guatemala
A silky, balanced coffee with red grape acidity and chocolate sweetness.
This coffee comes from El Carmen farm in the Acatenango Valley of Guatemala, sourced through a direct trade relationship built from time spent visiting the farm and working closely with the team there. It's our house coffee, chosen for its consistency, versatility and quality across both espresso and filter.
We roast it to highlight its smooth body and sweetness while keeping the acidity soft and approachable. Expect a silky mouthfeel, gentle red grape acidity and a rounded chocolate sweetness, whether brewed black or with milk.
Brewing
Well suited to espresso and filter. As espresso, it's smooth and sweet with excellent structure for milk. As filter, it's clean and balanced with a soft, juicy acidity.
