Guatemala · Dark Cherry, Brown Sugar, Cedar
Sentinel is our structured roast. Not as sweet as Daybreak, not as bold as Reveille — but the most complex of the three. Guatemala single-origin, sourced through a cooperative that pays above-market rates to producers. This is the roast for people who know what they want: a coffee that tastes like something, not like coffee-flavored milk.

Q: What makes Sentinel our most complex roast?
Guatemala growing regions produce coffee with high natural acidity and structured flavor profiles. Sentinel retains more of that acidity than Daybreak or Reveille — which makes it the most interesting cup when brewed with attention. If Daybreak is about comfort, Sentinel is about clarity.
Q: Best brew methods for Sentinel?
Pour-over (V60) is the natural home for Sentinel — the acidity and complexity come through more cleanly with a clean, fast extraction. French Press works for people who want more body. Espresso at home: Sentinel is your bag.
Q: What does the cedar note mean?
Cedar in coffee is a structural note — it contributes body and a slight astringency that balances the sweetness. It’s most noticeable in darker roasts and in coffee from Guatemala and Colombia. Don’t look for it explicitly; it shows up in the aftertaste as a dry, clean finish.
Q: Can Sentinel be used for espresso?
Yes — Sentinel is our top pick for home espresso. Medium roast produces acceptable crema, the acidity cuts through milk well, and the brown sugar sweetness survives the extraction process.
