About the coffee:
Guatemala produces many different types of the world’s finest and most distinctive coffees. The country has many unique coffee producing regions that has gained a positive and well known reputation in the industry. Coffee is Guatemala’s number one export contributing to the country’s growing economic status.
The Central Highlands of the country are ideal for coffee cultivation due to high altitudes and rich soil from surrounding volcanoes. The climate allows the coffee to mature slowly, which is said to concentrate the coffee beans flavours.
Our Guatemalan coffee is not sourced from a specific farm or cooperative. Instead, we focus on delivering the same great tasting coffee year in, year out by hand selecting coffee of the highest quality.
