Atlas Coffee Club – Guatemala (Medium Roast & Dark Roast) Review:
This month Atlas Coffee Club brought us coffees all the way from the Los Lerdes region of Guatemala. Our box consisted of 2 coffees – one medium roast and one dark roast.
The taster’s notes are very similar in the outline of the coffee and where it is from, however, once it is roasted, that is when the flavours change.
The dark roast coffee has “delicious chocolatey notes, a red apple-like crisp acidity, and a warm, delicious cinnamon-like finish that lingers”. As a suggestion, Atlas Coffee Club recommends trying it as a cold brew coffee.
The medium roast coffee has “a delicious hint of raisin, a wonderful lime-like zing to accompany, and a warm, delicious oatmeal-like note to finish”. As a suggestion, they recommend trying this coffee with a clever coffee dripper.
Each subscription comes with a postcard from the highlighted country that helps you fully immerse yourself in the local culture. Through the simple blurb on the back of the postcard, you get a real feel for what the area looks like, the architecture, the scenery, the wildlife, and the history. You are taken on a trip to another country all the while sipping the local coffee.
Verdict:
I’m enjoying a cup of Atlas Coffee right now as I write my verdict 🙂 I was impressed with the simple and compact packaging of the coffee sent to me; we all strive to be a little more environmentally conscious, and this was nice to see. The coffee itself was great! Nothing beats fresh ground coffee beans… just the smell of it brewing is so different than pre-ground mass-produced grocery-store coffee. The aroma made my mouth water, and I couldn’t wait to try the first cup. I normally drink Dark Roast, so I started with the medium roast first. I was very impressed with how smooth the coffee tasted. No bitterness at all; and for a medium roast bean, it packed a lot of flavour. The dark roast was my favorite (could be that I’m biased – hahaha), as it packed that extra bold flavor that I enjoy. Again, the coffee was smooth and very enjoyable to drink. I very much enjoyed the information postcard that came with these coffees, it elevates the experience to have that little bit of background knowledge of the area while sipping the coffee. The Coffee History cards were a nice way to reference the flavor notes and put a name to what I was tasting. I can’t wait to keep tasting the world of Coffee, from the comfort of my sofa.
