Chocolatey & Syrupy Single Origin Medium Roast

The Cup

This Single Origin Medium Roast from Guatemala delivers a well structured, classic Huehuetenango profile in the cup. It opens with cherry zing, followed by flowing notes of maple syrup that give the coffee a syrupy, coating mouthfeel. As the cup cools, warm graham cracker melds with dark chocolate, adding balance and nostalgia. Altogether, this coffee feels expressive and smooth, with just enough bite to keep every sip engaging. We love this for single origin espresso.

About the Producer

Unión Cantinil sits at the heart of its municipality in Huehuetenango, Guatemala, sourcing coffee from farms within a tight 15km radius. This focused approach preserves consistency while showcasing the region’s exceptional terroir.

Because the mountains largely face north, sunlight reaches the coffee plots more slowly. As a result, cherries ripen gradually, developing deeper sweetness and complexity. Although some Catimor is planted in the area, most farms grow traditional varietals such as Bourbon, Caturra, and Pache, all of which contribute to the clean, syrupy, high-quality cup this region is known for.
