Buy Guatemala Blend Online

Fruit notes of the Guatemala dominate, with a medium-to-full strength of body.

We offer Guatemala as a blend for our wholesale customers using “bulk brewers” at their cafes, and many use it in pour-over filter, aeropress and cafetiere commercially as well. It has also been popular in cafes with a guest espresso grinder, as an alternative to the bolder house blends. At the roastery we love it in a flat white.

If you make an espresso, extract longer (say 32g of extraction) and the effect is a wonderful smooth yet fruit-laden shot. This is because the low percantage of the non-Guatemalan coffee is there to lower the acidity and add sweetness. If you extract shorter, you will get a very fruity yet milk-chocolatey ristretto. In milk this makes a wonderful base.

Filter and other methods should dose at normal strength, of say 60-70g per litre of water.

Coffee details and ratios are as follows:

75% Guatemala Fedecocagua Co-op. High altitude, hard bean, sweet fruit acidity towards oranges and melons.
25% Colombian Excelso Medellin. Sweet, medium-bodied, milk acid, floral.
