What This Coffee Tastes Like
Guatemalan Ember is a washed single origin coffee from the Zacatepequez region of Guatemala, an area recognised for producing coffees with balance, sweetness, and reliable structure.
This coffee offers a composed profile that bridges brightness and depth, making it versatile across brewing methods and well suited to those who enjoy classic Central American flavour profiles.
Roast Profile
Medium Roast
Balanced and smooth with a medium body and gentle acidity. The medium roast highlights cocoa sweetness alongside red apple brightness and brown sugar notes, creating a structured yet approachable cup.
This roast works well for filter brewing and espresso, offering clarity and sweetness without sharpness.
Dark Roast
Richer and more developed with reduced acidity and a fuller body. The dark roast deepens the profile toward dark chocolate, subtle cherry sweetness, and warm brown sugar tones.
Well suited for espresso and milk-based drinks, this roast delivers depth and comfort with a smooth, lingering finish.
Roasting Schedule
We roast fresh batches every Saturday to ensure peak flavor and quality. After roasting, we allow the coffee to degas for two days before shipping.
Shipping & Delivery
Orders with Available Inventory: Shipped the next business day (excluding Sundays and Mondays).
Orders Requiring Fresh Roast: If your coffee is not in stock, it will be included in our next Saturday roast and shipped on Tuesday after degassing.
All coffee shipped is within five days of its roast date for optimal freshness.
Coffees from Zacatepequez are grown in volcanic soil at moderate elevations, where stable conditions support even bean development. Washed processing enhances clarity and balance, producing coffees known for cocoa sweetness, clean acidity, and structured cups.
