Guatemala - Peach Please

About this coffee

This Guatemala comes from Huehuetenango, a remote mountain region in the country's northwest near the Mexican border. Coffee grows high in the mountains, often between 1,600 and 2,000 m, on steep slopes in limestone-rich soil; warm air currents rising from the Mexican lowlands protect the plantations from frost, so cherries ripen slowly and develop pronounced sweetness and a clean character. Sold under the name Attila, it is the joint work of dozens of small and mid-size growers scattered through the surrounding hills — many of them coffee families for generations — who mostly wet-process their own harvest at the farm or at small local mills fed by the area's mountain rivers. Sweet, full and balanced, with a chocolate base, caramel finish and a ripe-peach fruitiness. Roasted for espresso. Source: programkafe.cz.
