Lilly's Guatemala | Medium Roast
Roast level: Medium
Tasting notes: Rich cocoa, melon, grapefruit
Single Origin: Highlands of Mataquescuintla, Guatemala
The biodiversity of this shade-grown coffee from Guatemalan highlands will delight your palette. This medium roast single-origin bean offers soft cocoa notes, with a hint of grapefruit sharpness as it cools, but a balanced sweetness and body all the way through. We love this coffee brewed fresh, but also as a cold brew, bringing out its extra smooth qualities that are delicious black or with your favorite creamer.

Meet the Farmers
Lilly's Guatemala comes from a family farm in the highlands of Mataquescuintla in Guatemala. Their biodynamic farm, Finca Santa Marta, is run by Lilly and David along with their children as they spread the love of coffee farming within the family. They also operate the export out of Guatemala, and import to the U.S. themselves. David runs the day-to-day farming while Lilly runs more of the operations and outreach. They employ local residents and ensure fair and equal treatment of all collaborators and partners.
