Guatemalan Coffee Quality
This coffee is classified as SHB (Strictly Hard Bean), meaning it was grown at high elevations where cooler temperatures allow cherries to mature more slowly. This extended maturation helps create denser beans with improved sweetness, structure, and cup quality.
The washed process further enhances clarity and balance, producing a clean and approachable cup profile that works well across a wide range of roast levels and brewing methods.
Enjoy the classic character of Guatemalan coffee with this Huehuetenango regional blend — a smooth and balanced cup featuring cocoa sweetness, nutty undertones, and gentle fruit acidity.
