Test batch on the new coffee from Guatemala had some really nice flavors at some points, some really boring flavors on others. Nothing offensive, but four of the twelve cups were distinct expressions of that coffee which I could potentially sell if I had the shelf space for that. The next step is production test batches which I'll taste (this time out of 3L airpots instead of cupping bowls) before deciding if those are what I want to sell.

From lightest to darkest, those would be cups 3, 6, 9, and 12.

3 is what I'd do if I were looking for a light roast, though it's only just barely fitting my definition of that, roasted to a point just a tiny bit before the start of 2nd crack. Sweet, has a very subtle lemon flavor that a lot of people would fail to notice. I'm not going to do a production test batch of this one because I don't have the shelf space to add it and if I did try selling all four, this is the one that my customers would buy the least.
