Huehuetenango is the highest and driest of Guatemala's non-volcanic regions. This renowned region owes much to the dry, hot winds that come in from the mountains of Mexico's Tehuantepec plain. The additional heat layers protect Huehuetenango from frost and enable coffee to grow at altitudes of 2,000. Due to the high altitude, nearly all of Huehuetenango's producers process their own coffee.
This year's harvest has more accentuated winey/fruity flavors that combine notes of red fruits and their delicate balance of sweetness and acidity.
Available whole bean or ground in 1 lb bags while supplies last.
