Notes
Guatemala was our jam when we first got into specialty coffee. It had familiar notes like chocolate and caramel and was both traditional and a radical departure from what we had ever tasted before. This Guatemala coffee can take you on an adventure with its bright citruseque acidity and bring you back home with its decadent milk chocolate and caramel finish. This coffee shines as a pour over.
Origin Notes
Santa Clara is located in the southern slopes of the Antigua Valley, between 5,100 and 6,000 feet, is privileged to have one of the finest volcanic soils to produce specialty coffee. The preservation of its natural condition is a priority for the owners. The plantation is also under a very strict control of shade, allowing the coffee trees to receive the exact amount of sunshine required to produce this fine, exquisite and aromatic coffee. The hand picked fruit is processed and washed in a traditional mill with crystal clear water. Then patiently sun dried for days in patios, giving each bean a distinctive blue-green color. This sun dried coffee has the highest standards of quality in Antigua. Every step in the mill is monitored constantly to maintain the quality. Bohdhi Leaf Coffee Traders (Guatemala Antigua Kapeu)
