Guatemala: HHT SHB, Huehuetenango

Guatemala Huehuetenango is a sophisticated single-origin coffee sourced from the non-volcanic highlands of the Huehuetenango region, near the border of Mexico. Classified as Strictly Hard Bean (SHB), this coffee is grown at elevations between 1,500 and 2,000 meters, where hot air from the Tehuantepec plains meets cool air from the Cuchumatanes Mountains to create a frost-free microclimate. Roasted to a refined Medium-Dark level, this washed-process coffee balances its vibrant, juicy acidity with a deep, syrupy body. The aroma is characterized by sweet brown sugar and toasted nuts, while the palate delivers a smooth experience with prominent notes of dark chocolate, maple, and subtle hints of orange and stone fruit. This foundational roast provides a consistent and aromatic cup that reflects the rich agricultural heritage of one of Guatemala’s most prestigious growing regions. Developed with precision to highlight a clean and lingering finish, it serves as a versatile choice for various brewing methods, from balanced pour-overs to rich, full-bodied espresso.
