Guatemala Unión Cantinil
Sourced from farms within a tight 15km radius in the heart of Huehuetenango, this single-origin medium roast delivers a beautifully structured, classic Guatemalan cup. Because the mountains in Unión Cantinil largely face north, sunlight reaches the plots more slowly. This microclimate forces traditional varietals like Bourbon, Caturra, and Pache to ripen gradually, locking in a deep, dessert-like sweetness and an incredibly dense seed structure.
The cup opens with a juicy black cherry zing, followed by flowing notes of maple syrup that give the coffee a distinctly syrupy, coating mouthfeel. As the liquid cools, warm graham cracker flavors meld with deep dark chocolate, adding flawless balance, smoothness, and nostalgia to the profile. Expressive yet comforting, it has just enough bite to keep every sip engaging, making it an absolute standout for single-origin espresso and full-immersion French Press brewing.
