This Guatemala is a medium roast, comfort-driven cup built around soft chocolate sweetness and a silky texture, with a subtle fruit note that adds brightness without overpowering the chocolate base.
The wet aroma opens with walnut, macadamia and soft chocolate, with a touch of cantaloupe-like sweetness that lifts the aroma.
Hot, the cup is smooth and rounded, showing milk chocolate, Hershey-style syrup, and macadamia nut. The body feels creamy and satisfying, and the finish carries a long chocolate linger. There’s also a hint of brownie mix richness in the center of the cup that adds depth with a orange ripe cantaloupe that lingers.
As the coffee cools, the cup becomes more expressive. Soft chocolate and praline sweetness develop alongside a gentle cantaloupe fruit note that brightens the cup without taking it away from its chocolate foundation. The nutty macadamia character remains consistent throughout, giving the coffee a fluffy, dessert-like balance.
Overall this Santa Rosa delivers a smooth, chocolate-forward Guatemala with a touch of melon sweetness and a creamy texture.

We have roasted many beans from good bros. And just about order has been very good. However this bean has to be top two or three on our list. We found taking it deep in to second crack was excellent. Relative low acidity and great body!
