GWATEMALA ACATENANGO – espresso

The cup is dominated by cocoa, halva, and forest berries, complemented by notes of chocolate and dried fruit. The profile is sweet, balanced, and beautifully composed, with a smooth, buttery body and a pleasantly long finish. This is classic Guatemalan coffee—elegant and predictable in the best sense of the word.

This character comes from the high-altitude Acatenango region, whose volcanic soils and favorable microclimate have produced coffees with pronounced sweetness, a chocolatey character, and excellent balance for years. It’s a profile that has long been associated with the best coffees from Guatemala.

We chose it for more than just its flavor. Guatemala Acatenango has been with us for years, as has the Perez family, with whom we’ve worked continuously since 2018. This is one of those coffees that has helped shape our roastery’s story. We return to it because we know what to expect: consistent quality, excellent green coffee, and a cup our customers are just as happy to come back to.
