Guatemala Huehuetenango – Finca Villaure

Taste: This bean produces a big, rich and sweet taste that is complimented by tart acidity. It is great as a single origin as it offers floral notes along with nutty flavors and a full mouthfeel.  Its also excellent as a blend with something light and smooth, like a Peru or Mexican bean. This bean from Finca Villaure – owned by Aurelio Villatoro – boasts a 87 cupping score!

Roast: A very hard bean, you can roast this confidently from Medium (City) to Dark (French) and you won’t be disappointed.

About: High-grown, hard-bean coffees from Guatemala are a staple offering for us as they are for many coffee bean suppliers and roasters: the crisp acidity, full body, and toffee sweetness found in these coffees make them valuable as approachable and affordable single-origin brews, or as backbone blend components that layer nicely with more complex or fruitier complements.

HUEHUETENANGO is probably the most famous (and difficult to pronounce—it is generally said “way-way-ten-AN-go”) region, and has the highest altitudes in the country, as high as 2,000 meters. Crisp malic and citrus acidity, full body, and toffee sweetness mark these coffees, which tend to be the most fruit-forward and can be the most complex of what Guatemala has to offer.

*Microlot Coffee Offerings: Farmers are paid quality premiums for any microlot coffee, which reflects the extra planning, effort, labor, and attention to detail required to produce them, as well as rewarding the ultimate job well done.
