About This Coffee
A Toast to Guatemalan Heritage – Guatemala, a country renowned for its coffee, presents a bean that encapsulates the essence of its most celebrated coffee-growing regions: Antigua and Huehuetenango. Here, smallholder farmers, united under the Apicus COOP, cultivate Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, and Typica varietals on slopes kissed by the sun and nourished by volcanic loam soil.
Elevated between 1,200 and 1,900 meters, the coffee benefits from a unique microclimate that imbues each bean with a distinct flavor profile. The process of fully washing and sun drying ensures that every aspect of the bean’s natural sweetness and complexity is preserved, resulting in a cup that is both balanced and vibrant.
This Guatemalan coffee, certified Fair Trade and Organic, reflects the cooperative’s over a decade-long dedication to excellence and sustainability. The cooperative’s 200 members share a collective wisdom and passion that translates into a superior coffee, celebrated for its medium acidity, medium body, and a delightful array of tasting notes from dark chocolate and bright fruit to butterscotch, lemon/lime, nougat, and brown sugar.
Drinking this coffee is not just an act of enjoyment but a participation in a legacy of agricultural excellence. It’s an acknowledgment of the hard work and care that goes into each bean, from the high-altitude farms of Huehuetenango to the rich, volcanic landscapes of Antigua.
Indulge in the luxurious depth and brightness of our Guatemalan SHB coffee and let it transport you to the heart of Guatemala’s coffee culture.
