Guatemalan Antigua - Signature Medium
Why I carry it: Iron Bean's signature medium from the Antigua valley: grown, in their words, by some of the top farms and small producers around Ciudad Vieja, on volcanic soil, with milling and drying "strictly and carefully executed." The gentlest thing on a shelf full of Vikings. Roasted in Ohio by a veteran-owned family roaster and shipped by Iron Bean; their FAQ says they roast most days of the week and orders often ship the same or next business day. Espresso guide.
The standout:
- Antigua region, Guatemala, incl. Ciudad Vieja and the volcanic valley (their words)
- Signature medium roast
- Whole bean or ground
Ohhhh that Guatemalan...
This coffee is grown by some of the top farms and small producers in the Antigua region, including Ciudad Vieja and the volcanic valley. The soil in this region is rich in minerals, nutrients, and sediments, which are ideal for growing unique and outstanding coffee. The milling and drying processes are strictly and carefully executed, yielding consistent quality year after year.
