About this Coffee:
Guatemalan coffees are some of the most amazing fragrant and aromatic coffees in the world. The natural shade and jungle of the Guatemalan highlands are the perfect environment for the bourbon botanical variety of arabica (a spontaneous variety of the original typical), which lends itself to a very nice and very natural full cup. Antigua is Guatemala’s oldest and most famous coffee growing region. The magnificent volcanoes of Agua, Acatenango, and Fuego enclose this valley. Fuego lives up to its name (fuego means fire in Spanish) by spewing forth volcanic ash continuing to add to the rich soil of the area. Antiguan cups are nice bodies, full-on bright coffees with spice. There is a reason this region is so loved and sought out by the coffee connoisseur.
The following post is from our Newsletter email that will be sent today about next weeks schedule and coffee special.
Thanksgiving Week Schedule
We will be closed Nov 27
UPS and Spee Dee Delivery are not shipping Friday, we have decided that we will close on the 27th also. We will be roasting on Monday and Wednesday. Shipping Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
We are recommending that any roasted coffee wanted, should be ordered for Mondays roasting. We will roast and ship on Wed also, but keep in mind the long weekend, we don’t think UPS will be running any trucks between cities, so the coffee will be setting in a warehouse or truck all weekend.
CACVRA, or Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera Valle Rio Apurimac was established in 1969 as a means of uniting cocoa and coffee growers in the Apurimac River Valley. This picturesque river valley unites the two growing regions of Ayacucho and Cuzco. The town of San Francisco lies directly on the Apurimac River and spans a bridge connecting the two regions. San Francisco also is the home of CACVRA’s main offices, cocoa receiving warehouse, and coffee cupping facility.
Coffee for Christmas Program
Our Coffee Barn is starting a fund to ship coffee to soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. For each $5 we will roast, grind and mail a pound of coffee to soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are sending the coffee to Wisconsin and Minnesota National Guard units deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. The coffee will ship around the first week of December.
We now have Donate Buttons on the main pages of the site and a listing in almost every coffee category on both the retail and wholesale stores.
