Coffee Geek Stuff

Guatemala is known primarily for growing Arabica beans. With its tropical climate, lengthy wet season, and high elevation, Guatemala has some of the most delicious coffee beans in Central America. This particular single origin coffee comes from Manos Campesinas, an organization of small-scale coffee producers in the highlands of southwestern Guatemala. The organization is made up of 1,200 members across eight cooperatives located in the Departments of San Marcos, Quetzaltenango, Retalhuleu, and Solola. The San Marcos region is exposed to the Pacific Ocean, which imparts fruity, complex flavor notes and a gentle acidic flavor.
