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.
