Guatemala Huehuetenango – Fair Trade Organic – Green Unroasted

Taste: Guatemala Huehuetenango is a “big classic” coffee bean: rich in acidity, and full-bodied.  This is a great everyday drinking coffee, but don’t hesitate to use it as a blending base – combining with an Indonesia like Sulawesi produces a rich, incredibly complex cup.

Roast: A real workhorse, this bean will roast beautifully to any profile you like from Medium to Dark.  You can’t go wrong with this hard bean.

About: Asociación de Productores de Café Diferenciados y Especiales de Guatemala (ASPROCDEGUA) is a producing organization that was founded by a master cupper named Noe Quintero, with whom our green-coffee buyer Piero Cristiani has worked since his first year on the sourcing team. There are 664 contributing members, 394 of whom have organic certification. The producing members own small farms, an average of 2 hectares each, on which they plant coffee as well as other crops for diversification, including bananas, citrus fruit like oranges and lemons, avocado, guava, and cassava.

The organization offers its members access to technical assistance and routinely provides services such as soil analysis, test farms, and social projects based on food security, education, and nutrition. The smallholders of ASPROCDEGUA are from several different municipalities within the area, including San Marcos, Cuilco, Colotenango, Santa Bárbara, San Sebastián Huehuetenango, Sipacapa, San Antonio Huisa, Cantinil Union, San Pedro Necta, Todos Santos, and Concepción Huista.
