Tasting Notes

This coffee is all about smoothness and clarity, without trying too hard. Right off the bat, there’s a strong caramel sweetness that feels really clean and straightforward, thanks to all that developed sugar in the cup. As you keep sipping, those classic Guatemalan milk chocolate notes show up—sweet, soft cocoa that adds depth without overpowering anything. The mouthfeel is what really makes it shine, with a creamy, easygoing texture that keeps the whole cup feeling balanced and approachable. Guatemalan Gold has always been a staple coffee here at Sagebrush, so we’re especially excited to share this new lot that delivers everything we love about the origin while still feeling fresh and just as delicious.

El Diamante Coffee Production

In his mid-fifties, Florencio might be the hardest-working member of the diligent and much-revered Villatoro family. His lauded brothers include Aurelio Villatoro of COE-winning Finca Villaure, Pedro Villatoro of the always sparkly Guayabales lots, Juan Villatoro of El Milagro, and the eldest brother, Julian of the Los Olivos lots.

He started young, with a coffee nursery and a small lot given by his father. He's been working earnestly since he was 13. At the age of 25, he was in a tragic car accident that damaged his leg, but he's continued working with support from his family: His wife Lesvia Marilú López and his 4 children, Maikel, Riner, Yelsin y Danita, and now his 5 grandchildren. Florencio has a great sense of humor, and like the rest of his family is kind and generous; a great host. He loves to watch soccer with the community and spends a lot of time with his family.

The name "El Diamante" arises given the importance that the land has for Florencio, he suffered a lot to be able to establish his productive unit, with several years of dedication and hard work. His farm is a treasure for him and everything he has been able to achieve is the reward of all his efforts over many years. The farm has the varieties: caturra, bourbon and maragogype at elevations ranging from 5,000 to 6,500 feet.
