Mermaid's Song: Light-medium SINGLE ORIGIN delivers medium body and vibrant acidity from Guatemala's premier high-altitude regions
Specialty Coffee Quality Rating: 85
Tasting Profile: Light-Medium
A smooth light-medium roast with rich chocolate, maple and plum notes complemented by apple sweetness and black tea undertones. The medium body and vibrant plum-like acidity showcase the exceptional terroir of Guatemala's volcanic highlands.
Origin & Region: Guatemala, Huehuetenango/Antigua
Huehuetenango is one of Guatemala's highest and driest coffee regions, known for its rugged terrain, limestone-rich soils, and high-quality smallholder production. These natural conditions help develop dense, sweet coffees with vibrant acidity. Antigua, located in a valley surrounded by three volcanoes, offers rich volcanic soil and a stable climate, ideal for producing coffees with exceptional balance, body, and sweetness.
Blend Composition: Bourbon, Typica, Caturra
Premium Guatemalan Arabica varietals that thrive in high-altitude volcanic soils. Bourbon offers a sweet, balanced profile with notes of red fruit and chocolate; Caturra brings bright acidity and citrusy vibrancy; while Typica provides clean structure and complexity. These heritage varietals work together to create the distinctive Guatemalan profile of chocolate sweetness, fruit complexity, and tea-like finish that defines this exceptional origin.
Altitude & Processing: 1,500-2,000 MASL (meters above sea level)
Washed processing method from the high-altitude regions of Huehuetenango and Antigua enhances the clean, bright flavors characteristic of Guatemala's premier coffee-producing areas. The careful fermentation and washing process removes the fruit mucilage, allowing the complex chocolate, fruit, and tea-like characteristics to shine through with exceptional clarity.
