The Sweet Detour -- Guatemala

Some of the best things happen when you take the road you didn't plan on.

Grown by smallholder farmers in the volcanic loam soil of Antigua Guatemala -- one of the most celebrated coffee regions in the world -- at elevations between 1,200 and 1,616 meters where the soil is rich, the air is cool, and the coffee has been extraordinary for centuries. Fully washed and sun dried until it's exactly ready.

Dark chocolate anchors the cup with a depth that means business. Bright fruit lifts the middle with a sweetness that surprises. Butterscotch closes it out smooth and lingering like the best kind of unexpected stop on a long road.

Grandma never planned the best parts of the trip. Neither did this cup.
