Guatemala La Bolsa

Tropical and full-bodied, Guatemala La Bolsa leans into ripe mango and cantaloupe with a honeysuckle finish that lingers. The black honey process adds a syrupy weight you can feel with every sip.

Guatemala La Bolsa doesn't hold back. Notes of mango and cantaloupe come through rich and ripe, not subtle, and the honeysuckle adds a floral brightness that keeps the cup from feeling heavy, opening up even more as it cools.

Finca La Bolsa in Huehuetenango has been a benchmark for Guatemalan coffee since the 1950s, operated by the Vides family across generations. The black honey process leaves a significant amount of mucilage on the seeds as they dry, and that shows up as a syrupy complexity in the cup. It's a method that demands careful attention at every stage, and the payoff is a coffee with real depth.

If you lean toward coffees that are fruit-forward with some body to them, this is right in your wheelhouse. It makes a beautiful drip or filter brew. Fans of our Guatemala Blue Ayarza or Bali Kintamani will feel right at home here.
