From the volcanic slopes of Acatenango, Guatemala, this organic, fair-trade coffee captures the terroir of one of Central America's most dramatic growing regions. Dancing Goats sources this lot from smallholder producers farming the flanks of Volcán Acatenango, where constant eruptions from neighboring Volcán de Fuego deposit mineral-rich ash into young, fertile soils. The result is a coffee with structure, sweetness, and a complexity that reflects the land itself.
Tasting Notes
Expect milk chocolate as the through-line, layered with caramel sweetness and a subtle hazelnut finish. A bright twist of orange zest adds dimension without overpowering the cup's inherent balance. Medium-bodied and clean, this fully washed Caturra and Catuaí blend offers a silky mouthfeel and a lingering, gently sweet finish. It's approachable yet nuanced—a coffee that rewards attention but never demands it.
Brew Methods
This Guatemala shines across multiple brew methods. As drip or pour over, its chocolate and caramel notes come forward with clarity and balance. In a French press, expect a richer body and more pronounced hazelnut character. It also works beautifully as espresso, where the orange zest brightness cuts through milk in cappuccinos and lattes, while the caramel sweetness rounds out straight shots. Medium roast versatility at its best.
