About Guatemala Single Origin Coffee
Double Bronze Medal winner at the 2019 Golden Bean Coffee Competition. A standout Guatemalan with green apple acidity and warm spice depth.
Guatemala is a single origin specialty coffee from one of Central America's most celebrated coffee-growing countries. Roasted weekly at our Hurstville roastery in Sydney. Won Bronze in BOTH Single Origin Espresso AND Single Origin Filter at the 2019 Golden Bean — meaning it performs across the board, not just in one brew method. Dark chocolate weight with a vivid green apple lift and warm spice on the finish.
Flavour notes
- Dark chocolate depth — rich and rounded
- Green apple acidity, vivid and bright
- Warm spice on the finish — cinnamon and clove
Best for
Espresso AND filter — this is a rare versatile coffee that delivers across brew methods (the 2019 medals prove it). Milk drinks where you want a more complex character than a Brazilian blend. Pour-over and AeroPress for the cleanest expression of green apple and spice. A great choice for drinkers who want a single origin that "just works" regardless of how they brew.
