Varietal: Bourbon | Caturra

Processing: Washed

This coffee comes from the town of La Libertad, in the Huehuetenango (affectionately known as “Hue-hue”, pronounced “way-way”) region of Guatemala. Hue-hue is well known for its high altitude and dependable weather conditions. The region receives hot air blowing Eastwards from the Plains of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca, Mexico, and cool mountain-air streaming down from the Chuchumantanes. This combination of hot and cool air enables coffee cultivation at higher than average altitudes without fear of frost. These conditions help develop clean acidity, and fruity flavours in the coffee.

This coffee is a mix of Bourbon and Caturra varieties of Arabica coffee. The cherries are hand-picked when ripe, and pulped immediately. The coffee is then left to ferment under water. The parchment coffee is then rinsed with clean water and laid out to dry on patios, where it is frequently raked to ensure even drying.

This coffee is rich and fruity, but maintains a clean and sweet finish.
