Washed Caturra & Catuaí, Guatemala
This is the flavour of Guatemala. Sweet, creamy and slightly sour. We selected the beans from Tomastepec, an organisation of young producers, so that we can offer you a basic yet high-quality flavour profile in the purest form. This coffee was cultivated and processed by Luis Fernando Adonis.
apple – milk chocolate – caramel
The beans are medium roasted, for brewing both filtered coffee and espresso (omni roast).

Why Guatemala?
Together with a team from the roaster Nordbeans, we – baristas from Ambiente – travelled to Guatemala with the aim of learning about the origin of our coffee and establishing personal relationships with its producers. While visiting the farms, we observed the entire process of cultivation and processing, learned a lot and tasted the first samples of coffees during the harvest. We thus selected exceptional lots with a specific story and origin.
The selection includes five coffees with different flavour profiles to delight the broadest possible range of select coffee lovers. Each of them comes with a cloth bag featuring a motif designed and drawn by Guatemalan artist Markos Fischer to specifically match the concept and the given coffee. All of the motifs are inspired by the charm of Guatemala.
For Washed Caturra & Catuaí coffee, we chose a character called Ruk'ux' Ya', which appears under the stars and shines like hot coals in a fire. Ruk'ux' Ya' is guardian of the night, protecting the coffee grove when no one is watching.

Brewing instructions:
You need water (ideally filtered), a scale, a stopwatch and freshly ground coffee.
Filter: We recommend brewing the coffee with a V60 or April brewer in the ratio of 6 g per 100 ml. For example: 18 g of coffee – 300 ml of water at 93°C – time 2:45
Espresso: We recommend using a two-lever coffee maker. For example: 18 g of coffee – 40 g per cup – flow rate 25 seconds
However, there are as many recipes as there are baristas. The important thing is to find the one that you will enjoy.
Store in the original packaging at room temperature (up to 25°C).
