August’s Drink Trade comes from Maquina Coffee Roasters. The beans come from Guatemala’s Finca Santa Rita which I assume is a single farm or a group of farms around the same region.

Making my latte, I taste fruit, berry and milk chocolate flavors and quite a lot of sweetness as well. The aftertaste has a pleasant coffee and dark chocolate flavors that lingers for a good 5-10 seconds. The aftertaste last just enough to want a 2nd sip. It’s super smooth to drink and definitely a bit of a change from the Atlas Coffee Club offering from earlier this month.

July’s Atlas Coffee Club comes from India. Yup…. Even parts of India are within the coffee belt. It’s rare to get beans that aren’t from the traditional coffee regions. So this will be a treat. The bag artwork of tigers is pretty amazing.

Opening the bag, I’m greeted immediately with a this ashen aroma reminscent of how Kona Coffee would smell like. Unfortunately, I do taste this “ashiness” upon first sip of my latte. But mixed amongst the ashy flavor, my latte also reveals a pleasant chocolate and berry flavor.
