Grown in Guatemala
Luscious Lava comes from Cubulco in Guatemala’s Baja Verapaz region, where mountainous terrain, fertile soil, and high elevations create excellent conditions for growing specialty coffee.
The result is a beautifully balanced cup that combines velvety cocoa, toasted almond, and granola flavors with a lively citrus finish. It is complex enough for an experienced coffee drinker yet smooth and approachable enough for an everyday cup.
Choose Your Roast
Select the roast level that best matches the way you enjoy your coffee:
- Light Roast: Brighter acidity with more pronounced citrus and origin character
- Medium Roast: A balanced combination of chocolate, toasted nuts, sweetness, and citrus
- Dark Roast: Deeper roasted flavors, heavier body, and subdued acidity
Brewing Recommendations
Luscious Lava works beautifully with several brewing methods:
- Pour-over: Use a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio with water around 200°F.
- French press: Use a 1:15 ratio and steep for approximately four minutes.
- Drip brewer: Start with two tablespoons of coffee for every six ounces of water.
- Espresso: Adjust the grind and dose for an extraction time of approximately 25–30 seconds.
- Cold brew: Use a coarse grind for a smooth, chocolate-forward concentrate.
