Guatemala Finca Medina Black Honey Special Edition

Guatemala Finca Medina Black Honey Special Edition

Bellwood Coffee

About This Coffee

This is a single origin coffee from Finca Medina and its sister estate Anexo Portal in the Antigua Valley of Guatemala. Nestled among the volcanoes of Acatenango, Fuego, and Agua, this region is known for its altitude, fertile volcanic soil, and cool climate. The coffee undergoes a black honey process where cherries are floated, de-pulped, and dried slowly on raised beds for about 30 days, with daily covering for two hours to add complexity. The cup features sweet cherry and bright lemon and guava, followed by brown sugar and cinnamon, with notes of tangerine and grapefruit weaving in with sparkling acidity. It has floral brightness, syrupy sweetness, and a long, layered finish.

Bellwood Coffee

Bellwood Coffee was founded in 2018 by brothers Joel and Charles Norman in Atlanta, Georgia, with creative direction from Tommy Keough and initial roasting led by Ben Shaum, who devoted a year long Emory University fellowship to studying the social impact of coffee buying. Joel now leads roasting at the 3,000 square foot Riverside flagship, where a self contained roaster produces small batches weekly with a lighter, flavour forward profile designed to let natural characteristics shine. The company has grown to five locations across Atlanta, including a partnership with the Little Shop of Stories bookstore in Decatur. All sourcing emphasises traceability through direct relationships with importers and producers, and the range rotates through around 10 coffees at any given time.
