Guatemala

A mixture of small holder farms and larger estates make up the mainly washed production of Guatemala.  Guatemala really does offer it all. Producers in Guatemala are passionate and careful with their crop, and whilst local infrastructure may not always favour them, this does little to deter the determination for producing ever better cupping coffees year after year.

Strong chocolate, nuts, citrus and blackberry, with a pleasant black-tea finish and a strong body.
