Flavor Description

This coffee from Acatenango showcases extreme cleanliness. Bright pomelo and citrus acidity on entry, transitioning to roasted nut and caramel sweetness, with a finish that maintains the region's characteristic minerality. It is lighter and more vibrant in layering compared to Antigua.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Water temperature 91–93°C, finer grind.
  • Feature: Perfect for those seeking "clarity"; the sweetness transforms into a brown-sugar-like flavor as it cools.
