Guatemala Mayan Warrior: A Medium Roast Coffee for Balance, Focus, and Flavor

What makes a medium roast coffee special? Somewhere between the brightness of light roast and the bold depth of dark, medium roast offers the best of both worlds. And when it’s made with beans from Guatemala’s volcanic highlands, you’re in for something exceptional.


Why Medium Roast Coffee Is a Daily Favorite

Medium roast coffee is beloved for its balanced flavor profile, combining mild acidity, smooth body, and a satisfying depth that doesn't overwhelm the palate. Unlike dark roasts, which can sometimes mask the bean’s natural characteristics, medium roasts allow the true origin to shine through.

When that origin is Guatemala, known for its rich soil, high altitudes, and ideal coffee-growing microclimates, the result is a brew with vibrant flavor and aroma.

What Sets Guatemalan Coffee Apart?

  • Altitude Advantage: Most Guatemalan coffee is grown at 1,200 meters or more, where cooler temps slow the maturation process and deepen flavor.

  • Volcanic Soil: Rich in minerals, it gives the beans a naturally complex profile.

  • Diverse Regions: From Antigua to Huehuetenango, each area offers its own twist on the perfect cup.

  • Flavor Notes: Think citrus, chocolate, floral tones, and even spice depending on the roast.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is medium roast coffee strong?

Medium Roasts: Are basically going to take all of the flavors of the light roasts and dumb them down a bit. Some may become prominent but this can really only be discerned if you are someone who roasts frequently and have experience trying the same bean at a different roast. Overall the taste profile will become more toasty/nutty/smoky. The body of the coffee usually becomes a bit heavier, but of course this will change depending on your method of brewing.
