High, cold, and unhurried. That's Huehuetenango. In the far northwest of Guatemala, close to the Mexican border, Huehuetenango sits at over 1,900 metres above sea level. The altitude here is unusual — the Cuchumatanes mountain range blocks the cold winds that damage coffee plants at elevation elsewhere, creating a microclimate that lets the cherries ripen slowly and completely. The result is a bean with more density, more sweetness, and more to give in the cup than most coffees grown at lower altitudes ever could. Washed process, medium-dark roast. The extra roast time pulls out the natural sugars — caramel and almond come forward, with raw cocoa sitting underneath. It's warm, it's grounding, and it finishes without bitterness. The coffee that earns its place in heavy mugs on slow mornings. Roasted to order the week your bag ships. Fresh from the drum, not from a warehouse shelf. — Medium-dark roast · Washed process · Single-origin Origin: Huehuetenango, Guatemala · Altitude: 1,500–1,900m 12oz / 340g · Whole bean Recommended for: drip machine, French press, espresso, stovetop moka Best choice if you prefer a deeper, less acidic cup
