Guatemala has been growing coffee since the 1850s and is one of the top producers in Central America.
Guatemalan coffee beans are from plantations in volcanic valleys surrounding Antigua. This coffee is surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Fuego and Acatenango. The plantations have rich volcanic soil and excellent growing conditions at an altitude of 1650 metres. Varieties are Caturra, Bourbon and Typica.
This coffee is chocolatey and sweet with a beautiful body. There are delicious notes of blackberries in the aroma.

This region is home to some of the finest coffee growers in Central and South America, producing beans celebrated for their balance, clarity, and natural sweetness.
Central American coffees — from Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, and Costa Rica — are known for their gentle acidity, clean flavours, and soft sweetness. South American coffees, including those from Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, and Ecuador, contribute smooth body, mild character, and classic chocolate notes.
Together, this single‑origin profile is exceptionally well balanced: medium to mild in body, smooth on the palate, and lifted by subtle hints of chocolate. A dependable, easy‑drinking coffee that showcases the best of both regions in one harmonious cup.
