Guatemalan Coffees Distinctiveness
Guatemalan Coffees are recognized worldwide for being cultivated under shade (98% of the coffee is shade grown), hand-harvested and by its unique geographical conditions; a perfect combination that produces exquisite high-altitude coffees with a delicious aroma, pleasant acidity, a lot of body and a delicate sweetness.
Major geographic influences, like the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, large crater lakes, flat plains, and high mountain ranges, combine to create more than three hundred microclimates in an area of 67,663 square miles (108,889 square kilometers). Guatemalan Coffees reflect the way different soils and climate patterns combine with high altitudes to create marked regional differences. To give a closer look and learn more about these different cup profiles come and join us for a shot of inspiration.
The Guatemalan National Coffee Association – Anacafé represents more than 125,000 producing families in the coffee sector and is responsible for ensuring effective services in order to achieve a profitable, sustainable, competitive, and high-quality coffee industry.
Guatemalan Coffees principal markets include the United States, Canada, Japan, Belgium, South Korea, and Italy.
