Why did we Choose this origin?

The Huehuetenango region of Guatemala is one of the most celebrated coffee-growing areas in Central America, known for its high altitudes (1,500-1,900 meters), dry climate, and rich volcanic soil. These conditions create the perfect environment for slow cherry maturation, allowing the beans to develop bright acidity, complex sweetness, and remarkable depth of flavor.

Additionally, the selection of Catuai, Pache, and Caturra varietals ensures a harmonious balance of citrusy brightness and creamy sweetness, making each cup a refined experience. The fully washed and sun-dried processing enhances the coffee’s clean, crisp profile, bringing out its vibrant character. Choosing this origin means embracing the essence of Guatemalan coffee tradition, where expert craftsmanship and ideal terroir come together to produce truly exceptional coffee.

Why We Love This Coffee

This coffee captivates us with its elegance and complexity. The lively citrus notes of lemon and lime provide a refreshing brightness, beautifully complemented by the smooth, creamy sweetness of nougat and brown sugar. The result is a balanced, medium-bodied cup that lingers with a delicate, refined finish.

Beyond its outstanding flavor, we love this coffee because it represents the soul of Huehuetenango, a region where dedication to coffee cultivation is evident in every sip. Whether brewed as a pour-over, Chemex, or espresso, this coffee elevates the drinking experience, offering a taste that is both vibrant and deeply satisfying.

How to Brew a Specialty Coffee

Grinding: Use the grinder, awaken your senses, and dive into the world of whole-bean coffee.

Recommended ratio: Use 10 grams of ground coffee (1 heaping spoon) for every 120 ml of water. This ratio is like a cake recipe, ensuring balance and harmony in flavor.

Brewing: Grind your coffee and brew it using your preferred method—espresso, French press, or Aeropress. Choose the method that suits you best and enjoy a unique experience in every cup, exploring the diversity that only whole-bean coffee can offer.
