Guatemala Medium Roast
Tasting Notes
A classic Huehuetenango profile: chocolaty, nutty, balanced, crisp. Notes of baking chocolate, hazelnut and apple evoke the familiarity and accessibility we’ve come to experience as Guatemala coffee. Medium-bodied with bittersweet structure and moderate acidity.
About the Region
Huehuetenango is the highest and driest of Guatemala's non-volcanic regions. This renowned region owes much to the dry, hot winds that come in from the mountains of Mexico's Tehuantepec plain. The additional heat layers protect Huehuetenango from frost and enable coffee to grow at altitudes of 2,000 masl.
Due to the high altitude, nearly all of Huehuetenango's producers process their own coffee. Fortunately, the region has rivers and streams in abundance, so mills can be placed almost anywhere.
