As a growing area , Guatemala has always been close to us. We made a lot of Guatemalan coffee in our specialty cafes, so there was no question that the flagship of our "Serious Coffee" series would also come from here.
The green coffee is classified as SHB-1, i.e. one of the highest quality specialty arabica. The farm where the coffee comes from is a member of the Rainforest Alliance , which means that, on the one hand, we can draw a very cute frog on the packaging, and on the other hand, when growing the coffee, they pay attention to the surrounding rainforest, the purity of crop cultivation, and ethical business operations.
The coffee is "single origin", i.e. it comes from one growing area . The specialty of the taste of Guatemalan coffees is the mixture of the volcanic soil and the Central American oceanic climate. Accordingly, we do not roast it too dark, in order to emphasize the sweet and fruity flavors , which are also evident in lattes.
