Guatamala
Huehuetenango (pronounced, 'way-way-tenango ') Rich body, spice and
chocolate flavors with a clean finish
The high mountains shrouded in mist on the volcanic slopes of southern
Guatemala produces one of the most distinctive and desirable coffees
. With its surprisingly deep, rich body and muted overtones, this Gautamalan
coffee is perhaps closer in some characteristics to Indonesian coffees
than it is to other Central Americans. The complex flavor of chocolate
and spice roll over the tongue with ever changing tones. The finish
is clean and long, with the notes of spice becoming predominant at the
end.
Most Guatemala coffees grows under shade trees. Trees
from the genus inga are the most used. The shade of these trees provides
a balanced atmosphere for the coffee plant, preventing an accelerated
metabolism which can exhaust the plant. The organic material produced
by the shade trees not only enriches the soil, but also protects it
against erosion.
Our Guatemala coffee beans are slow roasted and each bag
is dated (roast on dating) to guarantee freshness. All coffee beans
come in air tight silver foil bag with one way valves to preserve the
great taste. You can choose the desired grind and roast for your coffee.
