Guamatra (Guatemala and Sumatra)

ORIGIN: (Guatemala and Sumatra)

PROCESS: Washed

ROAST: Medium - Dark

NOTES: Cocoa, Caramel, Light Smoke

PAIRINGS: Smoked and Cured Meats, Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Breads and Cheeses, 

So the name may not be that original, since we have (thankfully) passed that early 2000s phase of couples name mashups (Branjelina, Jaylor), but the blend IS a mashup that has carefully yet intentionally incorporated the ancient spice and smokiness from just a bit if Sumatra, into the chocolate-caramel creamy sweetness of our Guatemalan beans. This is a blend for people who want to taste that richness a coffee can deliver in a bolder roast, but without the bitterness of an over-roasted dark bean often found in lower quality coffees. You will NEVER get a carbonized (over-roasted) bean from Three Cups Coffee Company! You may, however, get cheesy names for a blend on occasion. Hmmm...cheese? Yeah, a grilled cheese with some thick-cut smoked bacon and a slab of tomato sounds good with some Guamatra right now!
