Produced by Fredy Morales Jr. in the Huehuetenango region, this Guatemala Finca Rosma offering showcases the classic profile of the Bourbon varietal. Grown at 1500 masl, the coffee undergoes a washed process, a method often utilized to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their clean, bright profiles, this specific lot from Kuma Coffee presents a distinct sensory experience, featuring notes of Rainier cherries, chocolate milkshake, and Coca-Cola.

The Huehuetenango region is widely recognized for its rugged, high-altitude terrain, which contributes to the complex development of coffee cherries. When evaluating such specific flavor profiles, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better categorize the nuanced interplay between the sweetness of the chocolate notes and the fruit-forward characteristics found in this cup. This selection serves as a refined example of how traditional processing and varietal selection converge to create a balanced, approachable profile.
