Fellow's Take on April Coffee Roasters Guatemala SP | Brew Recipe

Here's how we brewed this house coffee at Copenhagen’s world-famous April Coffee Roasters, sustainably sourced from an individual producer.

This coffee is part of April’s Sustainable Profile project, which buys large lots directly from individual producers to create a more equitable supply chain. El Socorro has placed highly in Guatemala’s Cup of Excellence and their washed Yellow Bourbon is fantastically clean. We tasted a sweet, balanced cup of nougat, macadamia, and honeydew melon.

🌎 Origin: Palencia, Guatemala

💦 Process: Washed

🔬 Variety: Yellow Bourbon

⛰️ Elevation: 1,800 MASL
