Guatemala SO

Tasting Profile

A smooth light-medium roast with rich chocolate, maple, and plum notes complemented by apple sweetness and black tea undertones. The medium body and vibrant plum-like acidity showcase the exceptional terroir of Guatemala's volcanic highlands.

Origin & Region

Guatemala, Huehuetenango/Antigua

Huehuetenango is one of Guatemala's highest and driest coffee regions, known for its rugged terrain, limestone-rich soils, and high-quality smallholder production. These natural conditions help develop dense, sweet coffees with vibrant acidity. Antigua, located in a valley surrounded by three volcanoes, offers rich volcanic soil and a stable climate, ideal for producing coffees with exceptional balance, body, and sweetness.

Altitude & Processing

1,500-2,000 MASL (meters above sea level)

Washed processing method from the high-altitude regions of Huehuetenango and Antigua enhances the clean, bright flavors characteristic of Guatemala's premier coffee-producing areas. The careful fermentation and washing process removes the fruit mucilage, allowing the complex chocolate, fruit, and tea-like characteristics to shine through with exceptional clarity.

Blend Composition

Bourbon, Typica, Caturra

Premium Guatemalan Arabica varietals that thrive in high-altitude volcanic soils. Bourbon offers a sweet, balanced profile with notes of red fruit and chocolate; Caturra brings bright acidity and citrusy vibrancy; while Typica provides clean structure and complexity. These heritage varietals work together to create the distinctive Guatemalan profile of chocolate sweetness, fruit complexity, and tea-like finish that defines this exceptional origin.
