This coffee comes to us from 76 small holder farmers in the highlands of Guatemala, near the border of Mexico. We’ve seen firsthand how hard it is to grow high-quality coffee in this extremely mountainous region, so we have the utmost respect for the people who make it possible.

Coffee farming practices in Guatemala are similar to those of other countries in the region. However, the country has an abundance of water, volcanic soil, and very distinct microclimates compared to its neighbors.

When brewed, this coffee is complex with hints of pomegranate and white grape. Subtle florals like honeysuckle and chamomile emerge as it cools with a pleasantly nutty, almond-like finish. It’s delicious however you serve it!
