Guatemala - Candelaria Washed
Guatemala - Candelaria Washed
This cup goes down like water. It's the perfect everyday drinker and compliment to a breakfast feast or sandwich on the go. There's a subtle apricot high note followed by that familiar milk chocolate, brown sugar sweetness. It finishes full, yet clean with a sort of almond-y, oakiness which is JUST. SO. CLASSIC. It takes you back to the best diner coffee you ever had, but better. So play that up by watering it down a bit with a 1:17-18 coffee to water brew ratio.

About this coffee...
Huehuetenango farms sit high in the mountains ranging from 5,000 – 6,500 feet (2,000masl). This renowned region owes much to the dry, hot winds that come in from the mountains of Mexico’s Tehuantepec plain. The additional heat layers protect Huehuetenango from frost and enable coffee to grow at dizzying heights. The fact that Huehuetenango farms are so high up and remote means that producers must often set up their own micro-mills. Fortunately, Huehuetenango is also blessed with numerous rivers that facilitate washed-process coffee.
Candelaria is one of Genuine Origin’s first community lots, crafted by our amazing quality control lab in Guatemala City. They work with producers across Huehuetenango to develop a consistent, high-quality blend every year. In the cup, Candelaria has vibrant acidity, light body, and notes of milk chocolate and dried fruit sweetness.
