GUATEMALA FINCA MEDINA
Smooth and sweet with notes of dark chocolate and orange, our Guatemala Single Origin offers a beautifully balanced cup that’s perfect for both filter and espresso brewing.
Profile & Partnership
Our Guatemala Single Origin comes from Finca Medina, a family farm run by Antonia and Jorge in Guatemala’s Antigua region.
This directly traded coffee has been developed through close collaboration with Antonia and Jorge, allowing us to shape the style of coffee we want to roast and share with our customers. We also manage the farm-to-roastery importing process ourselves, giving us a direct connection from Finca Medina all the way to Chimney Fire.
In the cup, expect a smooth, balanced coffee with a sweet and comforting flavour profile. It works especially well as an everyday filter or cafetière.
