Rich Flavors and Aromatic Bliss

A medium roast packed with flavor, this single origin is slightly tart, sweet, and clean with notes of lemongrass and praline.

Guatemalan Glow shines through its premium coffee, known for its rich flavors and aromatic profiles. This coffee is often grown in volcanic soils, which adds to its unique taste. Many coffee lovers enjoy the smooth, balanced flavor that Guatemalan coffees offer, characteristic of notes of chocolate and citrus. However, the beauty of this coffee doesn't just lie in its taste. The cultivation practices involved are designed to respect the environment and promote sustainability, making every cup something to cherish.

Sustainable Sourcing Practices

Another key aspect of Guatemalan coffee is the commitment to sustainable sourcing. Coffee plantations often employ eco-friendly farming techniques that help protect the surrounding ecosystem. Farmers work hard to ensure that their methods don't harm the environment, so you can sip your coffee knowing that it supports responsible practices. Because of these efforts, consumers can feel good about their choice, knowing they are positively impacting the communities from which their coffee comes.

Support Local Farmers and Communities

Choosing Guatemalan coffee means you are also supporting local farmers and their communities. Many coffee growers are part of cooperatives that ensure fair trade practices. This means farmers receive fair compensation for their work, which helps improve their living standards and provides educational opportunities for their children. So, every time you enjoy a cup of Guatemalan coffee, you are contributing to a cycle of support and empowerment within these communities.

HUEHUETENANGO is probably the most famous (Òway-way-ten-AN-goÓ) region and has the highest altitudes in the country, as high as 2,000 meters. Crisp malic and citrus acidity, full body, and toffee sweetness mark these coffees, which tend to be the most fruit-forward and can be the most complex of what Guatemala offers.
