Guatemala produces some of the world's most sought-after coffees, known for their complexity and natural sweetness. This coffee is grown in the highlands of Huehuetenango in northwest Guatemala.

The farm is called Finca Vista Hermosa ("Farm with the Beautiful View") and has ten distinct "microlots" that produce unique flavor characteristics across the farm. Edlina Microlot is nestled at heights of up to 6200 feet and is grown under the shade of Inga and Cypress trees and fed by natural springs. Finca Vista Hermosa produces only the highest grade Arabica coffee. The farm is considered passive organic and the owners take meticulous care to harvest only perfectly ripe coffee for export. The Brown Coffee Company has been developing personal relationships with Finca Vista Hermosa for five years to ensure the coffee is sustainably and responsibly grown. In the cup this coffee is balanced with a pleasant acidity and a classic "minerality" for which coffees from Finca Vista Hermosa are renowned. As it cools it exhibits tones of salted caramel and molasses.

Taste the difference fresh roasted quality coffee can make. Taste Brown Coffee Company.

  • SIMPLY DELICIOUS

    Round, smooth, well balanced. I like a more sharp and robust flavor, but this the coffee for those who just want a perfectly smooth and even, yet flavorful cup. Excellent.

  • WONDERFUL COFFEE

    jbviau | Thu, 05/17/2012 - 23:56

    The advertised "salted caramel" aroma/flavor is absolutely there, and it's not subtle (at least not for the first week)! My wife easily picked it out in one sniff without any coaching. Really enjoyed these beans. I got into the bag after having finished 14 oz. of MadCap's Six One Six blend, which is currently a mix of two Guatemalans (Finca de Dios and a different lot of Finca Vista Hermosa); Brown Coffee's Edlina microlot blew that blend out of the water, truly.
    Update #1: I reordered this coffee recently (roasted 4/30) and found it had lost a step (NB: it seems I'm not the only one who's noticed). Specifically, the salted caramel aspect was absent. I'm docking a cup for this reason, though the coffee is still quite good. Not sure if what I experienced was due to age of the green coffee or a roast issue.
    Update #2: Aaron Blanco at Brown offered to try again and sent me a replacement bag of this coffee (roasted 5/14). The roast on this latest batch was better, unlocking more sweetness than I found in the batch roasted on 4/30. However, the salted caramel notes are still much more subtle than I reported originally back in February. As a result, the coffee has a simpler, cleaner flavor profile than I remember, but it's still delicious. I'd rate it 4.5 cups, but since that's not an option I'll go back to 5.

    Thanks for your kind words around this coffee. We are in love with this coffee for all the reasons you gave in your review, and for many more. The Edwin Martinez family deserves big praise for doing such a careful job cultivating greatness at their farm year in and year out.

    Thanks again!

    This is probably one of the best coffees that I have had in a long time, I was really happy to see that Brown has decided to start selling on Roaste as my past experience with their coffee was spectacular.

    As far as this one the shipping was quick ordered on a Monday morning, and it was in the mail that day and I got it Wednesday. I also really like the box is made to fit the size of the bag I think this reduces the chances of beans getting crushed in transit.

    Now the coffee, delicious. Seriously, the coffee smells like sugar and tastes even better.

    I have already taken the opportunity to make a few espresso shot (even tho it's offered as an espresso roast as well), Clever Dripper and Auto-Drip. In all of these methods I have found the coffee to be very nuanced with many different tastes over the course of the sip of the coffee. The basic break down is a nice subtle brightness upon the first taste then finished off with the salted caramel after taste. This is a very sweet coffee, it also held up well in the latte's I made with it. This is a winner and will not disappoint.
