Guatemala Teresita

Fresh, intoxicating almond aroma. Dark chocolate in the flavor contributes body and tactile sensations that carry through to the full-bodied taste. Persistent aftertaste of fresh almond and cocoa.

The farms are located in the volcanic area of Santa Rosa, between 1,300 and 1,700 meters above sea level, near Lake Atitlán. Thanks to the lake’s microclimate, high elevation, and volcanic soil, the coffee develops profiles characterized by pronounced acidity, delicate floral aromas, and a full body. This geographic area is part of a mountain range that forms an important ecological corridor in Guatemala. In addition, the presence of forest and shade trees helps atmospheric nitrogen become fixed in the soil, supporting sustainable and productive agriculture. The farms, located in shaded areas, are tended by small-scale growers using the washed process.

Sometimes an abbreviation appears next to this coffee’s name. The designation “SHB” (Strictly Hard Bean) or “SHG” (Strictly High Grown) explicitly indicates that the coffee was grown above 1,350 meters.
