Curator's Notes

Get ready for a sip of world-class Guatemalan coffee: it tastes like a caramel-fudge brownie in your mug! Freshly-roasted from Fonté Coffee Roasters, Guatemala El Tambor is one of our most luxurious coffees—a rich and fudgy medium roast with the soul of fresh-baked brownies. Delicate floral aromas highlight the big chocolate body, and a twist of sugary citrus zest adds a layer of gourmet complexity.

Roaster's Notes

This year marks the fourth consecutive season we have offered Guatemala El Tambor from the farm of Victor Calderon. Victor represents the fifth generation of coffee farmers from a family that has been in coffee for more than 100 years. El Tambor, however, is a newer farm, located just outside of Guatemala City. Victor bought the farm at the beginning of 2001, and has realized his dream of revitalizing a farm at sufficient altitude to specialize in high-quality Arabica production.
This year's El Tambor displays the subtle complexities characteristic of this coffee in a slightly different balance. There's a bit of spice in the dry aroma, and the initial flavor notes are sweet with floral overtones. The refined acidity unfolds more citric than green apple this year, and the layered chocolate finish combines with a bit thicker body to suggest brownies right out of the oven. Notes of sweet lemon flower, candied citrus, chocolate brownie finish.

"Deep cocoa, loved the chocolate brownie taste; it is definitely a cup of chocolate though, and dark cocoa...hints of floral. I didn't get the citrus taste. I did really enjoy this coffee."

"Dark cocoa taste to this was, could mildy taste the floral, which wasn't that pleasant of an aftertaste. I did love the brownie & chocolate flavor. "
JOHN 10/24/2019
★★★★★
"Really bold medium-dark roast. The smell of dark chocolate fudge was prominent upon opening the bag. Overall, a decent cup with cocoa flavors and a hint of grapefruit left on the tongue."

"Was disappointed in this cup. Was expecting much better flavor. It was really bold and lots of cocoa notes. Maybe I just brewed it poorly."

"Absolutely love this coffee! I used it in a cold brew because that is how I like to drink my coffee now. Not is only delicious but it saves me time in the mornings. When my brew was done I was pleasantly surprised how delicious this coffee was. Wow! Knocked my socks off!"
