This one’s got that cacao nib bitterness on the front that settles into a creamy, almost buttery finish—I’ve been brewing it as a pour-over every morning and it’s genuinely the most dynamic cup I’ve had from Guatemala. The volcanic soil really does come through.

That cacao nib note is unmistakable on the first sip, and it lingers into a creamy cashew finish that’s surprisingly smooth. I’ve been brewing it as my daily pour-over and it’s easily the most interesting cup to come out of my kitchen in a while.

The volcanic soil really does its thing here—I can taste that creamy cashew note right alongside the cacao nibs, and it’s smooth without being dull. Perfect for my morning pour-over, and the bag was gone way too fast.
