Guatemala Huehuetenango - Limited Edition

Grown high in Guatemala's misty Huehuetenango mountains, this new limited edition, medium roast coffee, delivers maple sweetness, a soft orange lift and a smooth chocolate finish. Complex without the fuss.

Grown in the remote western highlands of Guatemala, near the Mexican border, Huehuetenango is one of the country’s most celebrated coffee regions. Its dramatic landscape of steep hills, deep valleys, and diverse microclimates creates ideal conditions for producing complex, high-quality coffees.

What makes this region particularly unique is its combination of altitude and climate. Farms often sit between 1,400–2,000 metres above sea level, where warm air from Mexico meets cool mountain air from the Cuchumatanes range. This natural balance protects crops from frost and allows coffee to grow at very high elevations, resulting in slower cherry development and denser, more flavourful beans.

Most farms here are small, family-run plots, often around half a hectare. Producers typically handle the entire process themselves, from hand-picking ripe cherries to pulping, fermenting, washing, and drying the coffee on raised beds or patios. The abundance of fresh mountain water supports clean processing, which translates directly into clarity in the cup.

This coffee is graded SHB EP (Strictly Hard Bean, European Preparation). In simple terms, that means it is grown at high altitude for density and quality, and carefully sorted to ensure minimal defects.

In the cup, this lot delivers a beautifully balanced profile. Expect maple-like sweetness, soft orange citrus brightness, and a smooth milk chocolate finish. The acidity is lively but controlled, giving the coffee a clean, refreshing character without being sharp or overpowering.

Flavour Profile

• Think maple syrup sweetness, a gentle citrus zing and a silky milk chocolate finish. High-altitude beans, low-effort deliciousness.
