Guatemala Huehuetenango Sunrise

Huehuetenango stands apart as one of Central America's highest regions from 1,600 metres to 2,000 metres above sea level. Producers here use river-fed water, thin mountain air and stone-rich soil, resulting in bold, deep sweetness in each bean. 

This coffee has been classified as Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) and European Preparation (EP), 2 regional quality markers for excellent coffee. SHB classification is only given to coffees that are harvested at higher altitude, resulting in a slower maturation process and denser beans.

EP is a process of hand sorting and size screening after harvesting, meaning that only uniform beans of a certain size make it to export.
