Guatamala Coffee Beans (Blue Ayarza)

Guatemala is renowned for its high-quality green coffee production, thanks to its diverse micro-climates and rich volcanic soil.  Coffee from Guatemala is typically graded on two criteria – the first is bean density and growing elevation where coffees are given a grade of SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) or SHG (Strictly High Grown), this is defined as coffees grown above 1200masl.  The second is based on flavour – an indication that the coffee’s flavour profile meets the expectation of it’s growing region.  The country’s coffee-growing regions, such as Antigua, Huehuetenango, and Atitlán, each offer unique flavour profiles ranging from bright acidity and fruity notes to rich chocolate and nutty undertones.
