ARCANA DARK ROAST GUATEMALA #1638

Tastes Like: Chocolate, Caramelized Sugar, Grilled Peaches, Floral

Curator’s Notes: The art of crafting the perfect dark roast has been all but lost in modern specialty coffee— but no more! Our Arcana line celebrates dark-roasted single-origin coffee, and Guatemala Tres Cruces is a fresh and enchanting take on your classic dark roast. In lighter roasts, Guatemalan coffee is known for its rich chocolate-caramel profile, lively notes of citrus fruits, an apple-like acidity, and soft florals. When treated to a darker roast, all those delicious sugars toast up into a really unique caramelized sweetness. You'll immediately taste those roasty-toasty flavors, but they're soft, like a campfire marshmallow. The body is still rich and round like melted chocolate and dark caramel, layered with a lively, juicy sweetness like grilled peaches, and that hint of florals becomes reminiscent of strongly-brewed sweet tea. It's intense in all the ways we love about coffee without those unpleasantly dry, charcoal notes you often find in darker roasts. Hold off on adding any sugar, I bet you won't need any here!

Bottom Line: You’ll love this coffee if you love dark roasts, Central American coffees, grilled fruit, or unsweetened iced tea.

I'm really proud of our Arcana line of darker coffees, and this exclusive Guatemalan microlot is a fantastic example of how complex and nuanced a darker-roasted coffee can be. Guatemala Tres Cruces is only available for a limited time, while it's in season. Dark roast lovers, your time is now! Grab your own bag of this amazing single origin, and enjoy the magic of one of the sweetest, peachiest dark roasts you've ever tasted. Cheers!
