The same green coffee, roasted differently:
Roasted for espresso. Dark-chocolatey, full, and it doesn't disappear under milk. At the stand, Caoba is the second most asked-for espresso.

Tasting notes — what do they mean?
Waykan is not one farm's coffee but a selection: smallholder lots from Huehuetenango, chosen on cup quality and traceable to the region. The name means star in the Maya Q’anjob’al language — the light that shines in the sky at night. Somewhere around eighty per cent of the local economy depends on coffee, directly or indirectly. In the cup: praline and pecan with a soft, candy-like sweetness. It is the classic Central American profile, and the easiest one to ruin in the roaster.
The bag carries the roast date, so you can see exactly when it was made.
Whole bean is best between 4 and 8 weeks; ground, a few days. Keep it in a sealed bag at room temperature, away from light — the fridge doesn't help, and the freezer only works if you don't keep opening it.
Recipes
These are not generic recipes. The roast level and the character of the coffee together set the parameters — and we've written down why.
Aiming for: Dark chocolate, pecan, toffee.
About our dark: Our dark roast stops at around 18% development and never reaches second crack — so it takes hotter water than a typical "dark roast" recipe would tell you.
