About
Phil & Sebastian's dark filter roast, developed but still chocolate brown rather than oily. Warm dark caramel, baker's chocolate and spice with a syrupy, round body. Currently a washed Guatemala from small growers on the slopes of Acatenango. Core coffee: the single origin behind the name rotates; current lot listed.
