Craving a coffee that’s smooth and balanced? Central America’s “Bean Belt”—think Guatemala, Costa Rica, or Panama—delivers beans with a bright, fruity zing that newbies will love. Its volcanic soils and lofty mountains create a flavor profile that’s hard to beat!
➡️ What to expect: Moderate to high acidity, light to medium body, and flavors like honey, dark chocolate, or nuts. These beans shine in medium roasts, keeping their delicate tones intact.
💡 Try this: Grab a single-origin Honduran or Costa Rican coffee for a clean, versatile sip. Perfect for pour-overs or blends if you’re experimenting.
⚡ Why it pops: Predictable microclimates and rich forests give Centrals consistency, making them a go-to for both casual drinkers and pros.
