This coffee is grown at an altitude of 1,700-1,800 meters in Huehuetenango, Guatemala. Its gentle apple-like acidity is layered with the soft sweetness of cinnamon and vanilla, and as it cools, a rich caramel-like flavor and floral aroma emerge. It is characterized by a pleasant body and a well-balanced taste.
It pairs well with baked goods made with spices, such as cinnamon rolls and apple tarts, or cookies made with roasted nuts. For breakfast, it's also recommended to combine it with buttered toast or granola with nuts.
[Production background]
This lot comes from the Primavera Sisterhood Lot, a group of 10-15 women producers from the Huehuetenango region. Primavera supports small producers in gaining better prices and more stable sales, and this lot was produced as part of that effort.
This coffee is a well-balanced blend of beans with a quality score of 84-85, resulting in a classic, well-rounded flavor characteristic of Huehuetenango. This regional blend maximizes the appeal of small-scale producers whose coffees cannot be contained in a single-farm microlot.
[Regional characteristics]
Huehuetenango is a region of Guatemala that is particularly blessed with a high altitude, dry climate, and large temperature differences between day and night. This environment allows for the cultivation of coffee with a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and a clean, complex flavor. Coffee from this region in particular is characterized by its mature flavor and nuances of nuts and spices, and is highly regarded by buyers around the world.
