Tasting Notes
This coffee is your quintessential Guatemalan bean. With that classic “Guate gold” flavor profile that we’ve always looked to keep around in our Sagebrush catalog (except now we’re shifting it into the “brown label” category), this bean boasts a dark chocolate sweetness with the smoothness of heavy cream. Almost like a uniquely spiced ganache, this coffee’s medium body and consistently subtle sweetness makes it a safe yet exciting coffee.
Fénix Coffee Production
In the generations our family has cultivated coffee in Guatemala, an onslaught of challenges have affected smallholder producers, from a 30 year civil war to devastating natural disasters. Guatemalan farming families are acutely attuned to generations of adversity.
Fénix blend is our statement of hopeful solidarity. When working families in Guatemala gain market access and knowledge, we rise together. This mythological blend is sourced by our Guatemala City based QC team, in cooperation with vendor partners in Nuevo Oriente and beyond. Sourcing from smallholder producers, cooperatives, and estates we've curated a blend that is chocolate-forward, with a classic Guatemalan profile of orange & lemon, cream, and caramelized brown sugar sweetness.
