About This Coffee

Antigua, Guatemala, nestled between three volcanoes, is one of the world's most respected coffee-growing regions. The rich volcanic soil, high altitude, and predictable climate contribute to consistently high-quality beans. Coffees from Antigua are often celebrated for their complexity and balance, typically featuring prominent chocolate notes (ranging from milk to dark), alongside caramel or brown sugar sweetness. This Bella Carmona lot, representing a well-regarded estate or cooperative, exemplifies this profile with added nuances of crisp red apple and a pleasant nutty finish (like almond or pecan). Its full, velvety body and well-integrated acidity make it a deeply satisfying and classic specialty coffee.
