About the coffee:
This coffee is roasted for milk based espresso. It can also be used for drip, cold brew, or really any other purpose. But it's intention is for milk based espresso, and has slightly more roast development (light/medium) than other coffees we offer.
This lot comes from the Codech coop in Huehuetenango, Guatemala, one of the first origins our owner, Matt, visited back 2017 while working for a different coffee company, before opening Moxie.
The Huehue terroir has always been one of our favorites. The bourbon (pronounced BORE-BONE) varietal lends itself to a well rounded body and the terroir produces gentle fruited notes with undertones of creamy 60% chocolate.
In particular, we love this coffee on espresso, as it pairs extremely well with milk-based drinks, like a cappuccino. In addition, we also find it to be a crowd-pleaser on drip with a variety of coffee drinking crowds.
It’s a well balanced, versatile, high-quality lot from one of our favorite regions in Guatemala.
