    Really changes and is best for me when warm, maybe 3-5 minutes after brewing.

    Really liked it at 194F, 18:1.

    Its a light chamomile then a strong cherry/watermelon/mandarin note with a lot of natural sweetness, almost like sweet tarts.

    Lingers a bit as orange pekoe after that. When very hot you get a little bit of hops.

    Cupping Method:I did it first at 197F, 17:1. As I mentioned, I liked it better at 194, 18:1. Less funky/hoppy and clearer fruity notes.

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Guatemala
Guatemala is one of the main coffee-producing countries in Central America. Its volcanic soil and altitude make it ideal for producing quality arabica.
Coffee in Guatemala is grown in the high-altitude regions of the country. The country is known for producing high-quality Arabica beans, known for their well-balanced, rich, and complex flavors with notes of chocolate, fruit, and nuts with great acidity. The volcanic soil and favorable climate conditions contribute to the unique taste profile of Guatemalan coffee. The coffee industry is a significant part of the country's economy, with small-scale farmers and cooperatives being the primary producers. Guatemala represents around 2% of the world's coffee production, but due to its reputation for high quality, has an outsized impact in specialty roasts.
