Our Guatemala Huehuetenango coffee is a complex yet subtle coffee, conflicting I now, but you’ll see what I mean when you drink it! Expect to find delicate fruit flavours, light body, some floral notes and if you’re lucky, a buttery textured finish. This coffee is a perfect for those who enjoy a balanced and inoffensive drink, unlike some of the difficult to master African coffees.
Some background; Huehuetenango (pronounced Way Way Tenango) is a highland district of Northern Guatemala which borders Southern Mexico. High altitude coffee is grown here at between 5,000 and 6,000 feet above sea level amongst a temperate climate of 23 degree Celsius average temperatures, 1800mm annual rainfall and decent humidity.
