This is a dark roast single origin coffee from Guatemala's Acatenango region, specifically from the Monte de Oro farm. Produced by Mario Alarcón at an elevation of 1475-1575 meters above sea level. The coffee is Caturra variety, processed using the washed method. The roast is the most developed offered by the roaster, featuring sweet and balanced flavors that come through smoky and rich with notes of dark chocolate.
Carrier Roasting Co. was founded in 2011 by Ben Doxtator in Northfield, Vermont. The roastery operates a vintage Probat L12, producing lighter roast profiles designed to highlight origin characteristics in small batches. Sourcing is built on direct trade relationships with personal connections to farmers and importers, and the range includes single origin coffees and seasonal micro lots. Vermont Magazine named Carrier the best coffee roaster in the state. The café at Depot Square serves espresso, pour over, and retail beans, and the wholesale side supplies cafés and restaurants throughout Vermont.
