Guatemala Acatenango

Some mornings demand honesty. This coffee understands. It arrives in your cup carrying the weight of ancient earth—dark red cherries ripened under mountain sun, their sweetness edged with something deeper. The first sip doesn't comfort; it awakens. Bittersweet cocoa unfolds across your palate, complex as the thoughts that surface during your morning ritual. This isn't the coffee for rushed mornings or half-attention. It asks you to be present, to taste how sweetness and darkness dance together, neither winning, both necessary. In the quiet of your kitchen, ceramic mug warming your hands, you recognize this feeling. It's the same one that comes when reading poetry that cuts true, or watching storms build across Minnesota skies. The cherries brighten, the cocoa grounds you, and somewhere between them you find that rare thing—coffee that doesn't pretend life is simple. Your French press holds liquid honesty. Bold, distinctive, uncompromising. Some mornings, that's exactly what you need.
