A complete and really well balanced coffee with a rich chocolatey aroma, full body and low to medium acidity.
This small country has one of the most climatically diverse regions in the world. The soil, rainfall, humidity, altitude, and temperature vary enough that several distinct coffees are produced.
Some of the world's greatest coffee comes from the central highlands and high quality Guatemalan coffees are produced using the wet-process. They are of high acidity and medium body, with smoky, spicy and chocolate flavours. Guatemalan coffee is often marketed by grade, with the highest grade being strictly hard bean, which indicates coffees grown at 4,500 feet or above. A secondary grade is hard bean, designating coffees grown between 4,000 and 4,500 feet.
Guatemala is pretty much a complete coffee and suits all brewing methods. It has a great aroma and adds snap and zest to espresso blends.
