Guatemala

The volcanoes in Guatemala are some of the most striking elements of its natural landscape. These volcanoes are not only attractive to travelers to discover but make up the distinct characters to be found in Guatemalan coffees. Elevation in this area reaches from 300 to 3850 meters, creating ideal micro-climate conditions for coffee cultivation. However, this coffee is only grown on the mountain slopes ranging from 1350 to 2000 meters, classifying this coffee for strictly hard bean (SHB) grade. Along with higher density comes a complex abundance of citric and fruitful aromas that let coffee from Guatemala rank as one of the best gourmet coffees in the world.
