Guatemala - Huehuetenango Candelaria SHB

If you haven't tried a Guatemala coffee, you are surely missing out. As soon as you smell the freshly roasted beans you will be inundated as the amazing aromas fill your kitchen. The anticipation from the second you open this bag until you pour it in your cup will be difficult to handle. After your first sip, let the coffee sit in your mouth and really enjoy the complexity of flavors that start to settle in.

Coffee farms in Huehuetenango are among the highest in Guatemala, perched between 5,000 and 6,500 feet (up to 2,000 masl). This celebrated region benefits from warm, dry winds that sweep in from Mexico’s Tehuantepec plain, protecting the area from frost and allowing coffee to thrive at remarkable elevations. Due to the region’s steep terrain and remote location, many producers operate their own micro-mills. Abundant rivers throughout Huehuetenango make it especially well suited for washed-process coffees.

Candelaria is one of our importer’s original community lots, thoughtfully developed by their quality control lab in Guatemala City. Working closely with producers across Huehuetenango, the team crafts a consistent, high-quality blend year after year.
