HUEHUETENANGO GREEN COFFEE BEANS

CLASSIC

Hailing from Guatemala's highest non-volcanic growing region, Huehuetenango green coffee beans are protected from frost by the hot winds off the Mexican plains. Up to 2,000 metres, fully washed, raw, unroasted, and unmistakably their own thing - red apple brightness, smooth chocolate and caramel sweetness when roasted deliver a complexity that gets better the more you dial it in.

Varietal: Bourbon, Caturra, and Catuai

RECOMMENDED ROAST

Medium is our recommendation here. The washed process gives this bean a natural sweetness and clarity that shines at this level - caramelly in espresso, clean and juicy as a pour over.

THE WHY

Huehuetenango has a devoted following among specialty roasters for good reason - the combination of extreme altitude, limestone soils and that distinctive dry climate produces a cup with a clarity and brightness that's hard to find elsewhere in Guatemala. Complex without being difficult, it rewards the home roaster who takes the time to dial it in.
