Guatemala Daniel Orantes

The roaster partnered with Daniel Orantes to bring Pixquin Pacamara Eny2y from Guatemala. This lot hails from El Volcancito, Santa Rosa, at 1750 masl, and blends varietals including Pache San Ramon, Cogollo Blanco, and Red Catuai. The coffee is processed Washed, a method that emphasizes clarity and a clean foundation for the cup. The roaster describes the taste as fruit-driven with stewed strawberry sweetness, wine-like depth, and a rounded chocolate finish. Washed processing helps these flavors stay bright and well-defined, a hallmark of high-altitude Guatemalan coffees from this region. In the cup it tastes like stewed strawberry, merlot, and chocolate candy, with a balancing sweetness and a gentle lift of acidity. This combination pairs well with light pastries or breakfast fare, letting the fruit brightness shine without overwhelming dairy.
