GUATEMALA – Huehuetenango La Florida

One of the best in the world and sourced from a Slow Food coffee presidium, Guatemala Huehuetenango La Florida, is an exceptional traceable and sustainable Arabica capable of delivering a unique taste experience. Huehuetenango, is one of the most renowned of Guatemala’s coffee regions, with the meaning of “Place of the Ancients” is located on the highest non-volcanic mountain range in Central America. The Presidium, launched in 2002 is one of the first Slow Food Presidium projects dedicated to coffee, now involves more than 200 small producers who cultivate this variety by hand-harvesting the berries and then processing them using the washed method, followed by drying the beans in the sun for at least three days after stripping. On sensory tasting, aromas of white fruit and almonds, light body and medium to high acidity accompanied by lingering cocoa notes emerge on the palate.
