Good News: We have a new Guatemala coffee!

Bad News:  We will not have Guatemala Antigua for the remainder of this year.

Here is a little info about the Acatenango coffee that I just picked up this week and I will have it listed on our stores later today.

Guatemala Acatenango Roasted Coffee

1 Pound Fresh Roasted Coffee Beans

The newly-recognized region of Acatenango, Guatemala consists of over 5,000 hectacres of mountains, hills, and volcanic slopes. The Acatenango volcano is Central America’s third highest volcano, and coffee may grow as high as 6,500 ft. Coffee was first planted in this region in the 1880s, and today there are over 4,000 growers.

Average rainfall is between 48 to 72 inches per year, and the temperature ranges between 14 and 31 degrees Celsius.

Harvest takes place between mid January and March.

Cupping notes:

Floral, hazelnut, sweet, coconut, creamy body, spice, raspberry nose, lively acidity.

I found this You Tube video of a hike up the Acatenango volcano it is not about the coffee, just a hike up the volcanos.
