Story
Organic Guatemala, a delightful newcomer boasting a harmonious blend of medium body and acidity. Experience a well-rounded cup with flavor nuances of apricot, lime and milk chocolate. Indulge in undertones of sweet caramel. Enjoy this exceptional coffee experience.
Osvaldo Perez is a third-generation coffee producer, managing what is now a 280 hectare estate. As the family has expanded their holdings over the years, they likewise increased the varieties grown to include Typica, Catimor, Catuai, Pacamara, and more, while also establishing their own wet mill. Alongside this growth, they have also remained stewards of the land, preserving 35 hectares of tropical rainforest and maintaining a Rainforest Alliance certification.
Coffee farming practices are similar to other countries in the region, but Guatemala has an abundance of water, volcanic soil, and very distinct micro-climates compared to its neighbors. Although late to coffee, Guatemala recognized and responded to the needs of the emerging specialty coffee sector earlier than most coffee-producing regions. Anacafé, the coffee producers association in Guatemala, identifies seven growing regions: Fraijanes, the plateau south of Guatemala City; Coban, a rainforest region in the center of the country; Huehuetenango, highlands near the border with Mexico; Atitlan, primarily the volcanic mountains on the Pacific side of Lake Atitlan; San Marcos, between Huehuetenango and the Pacific Ocean; Oriente, the driest of the growing regions located near the eastern border with Honduras; and the most famous of all, Antigua, nestled among the volcanoes an hour’s drive southwest of Guatemala City.
