GUATEMALA

The Antigua valley is one of Guatemala’s oldest and best-known coffee growing regions. Its volcanoes and shallow water table help to create the dry micro-climate, with low humidity, lots of sun and cool nights. The coffee region of Antigua is an enclosed valley formed by three volcanoes: Agua, Acatenango and Fuego.
Once roasted find a clean, rounded citric acidity carries through a smooth, creamy body. Milk chocolate, black tea and hazelnut notes linger.
