Origin

Huehuetenango is one of Guatemala’s most celebrated coffee growing regions, located near the Mexican border. Its combination of high elevation, volcanic soil, and varied microclimates creates outstanding conditions for Arabica cultivation.

Slow cherry maturation produces dense beans that retain heat well during roasting, enabling even development and predictable results.
