But what makes these flavors stand out? Let’s take a closer look.
The Unique Flavours of Guatemalan Mayan Coffee
Guatemala is known for producing some of the world’s finest coffees, thanks to its high-altitude farms, volcanic soil, and ideal climate. These conditions help develop the coffee’s bold, sweet, and vibrant character.
• Biscoff: That deep, spiced biscuit-like sweetness is a result of the coffee’s natural sugars caramelizing during roasting. Guatemalan beans often have a warm, brown sugar-like quality, which gives us that comforting biscoff note. It’s a flavor that makes this coffee feel indulgent and rich, perfect for those who love a smooth, flavourful coffee.
• Caramel: This sweetness is another hallmark of Guatemalan coffee. The balance of sugars and acidity in the beans allows caramelization to occur beautifully in the roasting process. This means that with each sip, you’ll get a buttery, toffee-like smoothness that lingers on the palate. Whether you drink it black or with milk, that golden caramel depth will shine through.
• Fruity Notes: Guatemalan coffee is known for its bright and lively fruit tones. Depending on the region, you might pick up hints of stone fruits, berries, or citrus. These fruity notes add an exciting contrast to the biscoff and caramel flavors, making for a well-rounded and dynamic cup. The result? A coffee that is both sweet and complex, with just the right amount of acidity to keep it refreshing.
How to Enjoy It
This coffee is incredibly versatile. It makes a beautifully smooth espresso with a syrupy texture and balanced sweetness. It also shines in a filter or French press, where the caramel and fruity notes are even more pronounced. I believe that drinking it with milk, as a latte, flat white or cortado really highlights the biscoff flavours.
