Farm: Fénix Region: Nuevo Oriente Process: Washed Variety: Bourbon, Caturra, Catuaí Elevation: 1450-1500 MASL

The Guatemala Fenix Coffee, sourced from the Nuevo Oriente region, represents a classic expression of the Bourbon varietal. Cultivated by the Fénix producer at elevations between 1450 and 1500 masl, this lot undergoes a washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. When roasted by Press Coffee Roasters, these characteristics are balanced to reveal a profile defined by caramel, cacao, and crisp apple.

While flavor profiles are subjective, drinkers often consult a flavor wheel to better identify these nuanced notes. This coffee serves as a refined example of the Guatemala · Nuevo Oriente terroir, where the combination of specific climate conditions and traditional processing techniques creates a structured cup. By focusing on the Bourbon varietal’s natural sweetness and the clean finish provided by the washed method, this selection offers a balanced experience for those who appreciate traditional, well-defined coffee profiles.
