Roast Recommendations
Light Roast: Highlights the crisp, apple-like sweetness and gentle acidity, keeping the cup clean, lively, and terroir-forward.
Medium Roast: Accentuates the comforting brown sugar and milk chocolate notes with a smooth, balanced body.
Dark Roast: Deepens the chocolate flavors into a rich, toasted profile, softening the acidity while bringing out a heavier fruit sweetness.
About the Producers
This selection is a community lot crafted in partnership with a dedicated quality control lab in Guatemala City. They work closely with multiple small producers to develop a consistent, high-quality blend every year.
Understanding the Grade: SHB and EP
To ensure an exceptional experience, this coffee carries two prestigious quality designations:
Strictly Hard Bean (SHB): Signifies that the coffee was grown at high altitudes (typically above 1,350 meters). Cool mountain temperatures slow down fruit maturation, producing a denser bean with significantly more complex and concentrated flavors.
European Process (EP): Indicates a commitment to perfection through meticulous hand-sorting. To earn this designation, a coffee lot must have no more than four defects per 1,000 beans, resulting in an exceptionally clean and consistent cup.
Why You’ll Love It
You will love this cup because of the the rich notes of milk chocolate and sweet brown sugar, while the crisp apple and complex dried fruit keep the profile vibrant and interesting. At Jeludes, our mission is about building connections through shared experiences. Because specialty coffee is alive, you will notice how the cup changes as it cools, revealing complex layering and a refined finish that is a pleasure to come back to time and time again.
