Guatemala Huehuetenango “Las Amapolas” whole-bean coffee – 100% Arabica Specialty

Guatemala is a country of extraordinary beauty, full of majestic volcanoes, rich Indigenous culture, and exceptional natural conditions. Here, in the northwest of the country, on the border with Mexico, lies the Huehuetenango region, considered one of the best places in the world to grow Arabica coffee.

The name “Huehuetenango” comes from the Nahuatl language and means “place of the ancestors.” Coffee farms are located at elevations of 1,350 to 2,000 m above sea level, where coffee classified as SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) is produced—beans with exceptional hardness and density that develop more slowly than those grown at lower elevations.

High elevation, intense sunlight during the day, and cool, humid winds at night give the beans a complex flavor and aroma. Guatemala Huehuetenango “Las Amapolas” is a specialty coffee with an exceptional profile—it delights with citrus freshness, fruity sweetness, and gentle acidity. This combination makes it one of the most highly regarded coffees in Central America.
