The reaction is always the same: a pause, then "huh, that's actually really good."
This one opens citrus-forward — bright, but not sharp — then settles into a quiet chocolate undertone that rounds out into a smooth orange finish on the way down. Mild acidity means none of the edge that turns some coffees into a decision you'll regret by 10am.
Sourced single-origin from Guatemala, a Central American growing region, and air-roasted to order using solar power, this medium roast works for whatever your morning actually looks like — slow pour at the counter, travel mug out the door, or single-serve pod because today is not a measuring day. 100% Arabica, no flavoring added — what you're tasting is just what the bean does on its own.

The Beans
100% Arabica, single-origin from Guatemala — a Central American growing region known for bright, complex coffees. This is a medium roast, air-roasted to order using solar power, because we're solar-powered and we'll mention it whenever it's relevant (which is often).
No flavoring added here — what you're getting is the bean doing its own thing. Expect sweet citrus up front, a subtle chocolate undertone, and a smooth orange finish, with mild acidity throughout. This is part of our standing lineup, not a limited release, so if it becomes your new favorite, it'll still be here next month.

How to Brew
This one holds up across brew methods — drip, pour-over, French press, or AeroPress all bring out the citrus and chocolate notes well. For drip, start with about 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 oz of water and adjust to taste from there.
Prefer grab-and-go? The single-serve pods (12-count) are compatible with Keurig® 1.0 and 2.0 machines — no scooping, no guessing, just press and go.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Guatemalan Medium Roast Coffee
Is this coffee easy on the stomach?
It tends to be. We air-roast all of our coffee — air roasting circulates heat evenly around the bean rather than scorching it against a hot surface, which generally produces a smoother, gentler cup. This particular coffee also has naturally mild acidity, and the medium roast adds another layer of gentleness — longer roast time means less of the compounds that can irritate a sensitive stomach. No guarantees, because everyone's different, but it's a reasonable place to start if coffee and your stomach don't always get along.
Why does this coffee taste like citrus and chocolate if there's no flavoring added?
That's just the bean. Coffee picks up flavor characteristics from where it's grown, how it's processed, and how it's roasted — no flavoring required. This is a single-origin Guatemalan coffee, air-roasted to a medium level, and those citrus and chocolate notes (plus the orange finish) are naturally occurring. Nothing's been added to get there.
Do you offer a decaf version?
Not for this one — Guatemalan Medium Roast is currently available in regular only. If decaf is a dealbreaker, our decaf lineup is worth a look.
What's the difference between the bag and the single-serve pods?
Same coffee, different format. The bag gives you flexibility on grind and brew method — whole bean or ground, your call. The single-serve pods come in 12-count boxes and are compatible with Keurig® 1.0 and 2.0 machines — grab-and-go with no measuring required.
Is this coffee keto-friendly?
Yes — black coffee has zero sugar, zero sweeteners, and no added carbohydrates. This coffee isn't flavored, so there's nothing added to begin with. Naturally keto-friendly as a factual spec, not a lifestyle claim.
What other coffees pair well with this one?
If you like a smooth and approachable cup, our other single-origin and small-batch roasts are worth exploring. Our snack line is always good company.
