Guatemala - Partner Pricing

A favourite and a must try, this Guatemala has a full, juicy body that is complemented by sweet notes of caramel-covered nuts - a real treat! This complex sweetness is due in part to the tropical climate accompanied by towering mountains and volcanoes that create a natural pathway for many bodies of water and streams, contributing to the high humidity and forest biomes.

Coffee shrubs and trees are grown on these volcanic slopes. The moisture-laden fog brings all sorts of water-soluble nutrients that nourish and enrich the soil and leaves, helping the berries ripen at a gradual pace to encourage the aforementioned sweetness.

Most farmers harvest and process their own grains, as some areas are so remote that transportation and labor cannot reach them daily during harvest season. Fortunately, they can use fresh mountain water during the washing and grinding process to prepare the grains for drying and sale.

This roast is best enjoyed drip and immersion. An espresso is recommended for those who enjoy a lighter tasting espresso (or espresso-based drink).
