Guatemala
Guatemala is the origin of authentic coffee in Central America. This is especially true of the Strictly Hard Bean green coffees grown in the Atitlan and Antigua coffee-growing areas in the country’s central highlands. These coffees also have a floral acidity that is usually spicy or chocolaty. Guatemalan coffee is the appropriate first step for people who want to go from consuming mass-produced coffee to high-quality coffee beans since it is strong, full-bodied, slightly acidic, and beautifully delicious. Guatemala has several diverse microclimates, volcanic soil, and much water compared to its neighbors. Guatemala was one of the first places to grow coffee, and when the market for specialty coffee started to grow, the country knew what it needed to do. Guatemala is one of the top 10 coffee-producing nations in the world, producing more than 204,000 metric tons of coffee per year.

About the coffee bean process:
Arabica green coffee is best grown in Guatemala because of the country’s unique microclimates and mineral-rich soils. Guatemalan coffee has a robust and distinctive flavor since it is grown at elevations higher than 5,000 feet. Guatemala’s unusual growing location is ideal for producing some of the most delicious coffee beans because of its nutrient-rich volcanic soil, mild subtropical temperature, and peculiar growing environment. We wash our Guatemalan coffee (also known as wet-processed). Wet-processed coffee, having had the fruit covering the beans removed before the beans are dried, employs a procedure that uses much water.
For a good reason, too, Guatemala is a favorite among coffee connoisseurs. Guatemalan coffee can have the ideal ratio of body, strength, sweetness, mild acidity, and subtle taste nuances. Our coffee is produced in Guatemala’s FRAIJANES PLATEAU, north of Lake Atitlan. On the Fraijanes Plateau, where heights range from 1200 to 1500 meters above sea level, coffee is cultivated with a relative humidity of around 60% and an annual rainfall of about 1500 mm.
