The other morning, I stared at my coffee mug and thought…
“This is fine. But it’s not exciting.”

We’ve all been there. The caffeine’s doing its job, but the experience is flat.
And that’s when it hit me: I needed to bring the spice back.

Enter: Guatemalan Coffee and cardamom  the boldest flavor duo your taste buds didn’t know they needed.

 Why Guatemalan Coffee Is the Perfect Base for Spice

Before we get to the recipe, let’s talk beans.
Because not every coffee can handle the complexity of cardamom.

Guatemalan Coffee, with its naturally rich, chocolatey undertones and citrus brightness, pairs beautifully with warm spices. Whether you’re using a medium roast or a deeper dark profile, Guatemalan beans bring body, balance, and that perfect backdrop for experimentation.

 What’s the Deal with Cardamom?

If you’ve ever had Turkish coffee, Middle Eastern sweets, or even chai, you’ve tasted cardamom  spice that’s warm, citrusy, slightly minty, and instantly elevating.

But here’s the fun part:
Just a pinch in your Guatemalan Coffee can turn a basic brew into a sensory journey.
