Origin and Profile of This Coffee

Guatemala is one of Central America’s most renowned coffee-producing countries, best known for its high-altitude Arabica coffees. The coffee grows at elevations between approximately 1,300 and 2,000 meters, where volcanic soils, cool nights, and frequent fog create a distinctive microclimate. These conditions slow the ripening of the coffee cherries and promote high aromatic intensity.

Cultivation takes place mainly on smaller farms, where cherries are hand-picked and carefully sorted. The washed process brings clarity and balance to the cup profile. Guatemalan coffees are known for nutty and chocolate flavors, subtle fruitiness, and well-integrated acidity. Coffee plays a central economic role in the country and is closely tied to the culture and identity of many growing regions.
