Guatemala SHB
This month we are roasting the best coffee that Guatemala has to offer. Guatemala SHB or (strictly hard been) is surely a unique coffee unlike any other. Grown in the highlands of Northwest Guatemala in the Heuhuetenango region, this coffee resonates with a gentle balance of fruit and subtle chocolate notes. Heuhuetenango is renown worldwide for exceptionally complex acidity. Which means, with its unique spices and aromas serving this coffee black will enable the taster to fully appreciate it in all it's complexities. For those extremely brave souls this coffee makes one powerful espresso that's not to be missed!
About the region...
We are pleased to offer this strictly hard bean (SHB) coffee from the most rugged and northwest mountains of Guatemala's highlands, as our coffee of the month. This region is not prized for its volcanic soil, but instead relies on the microclimate for its unique flavor. An extreme elevation of 3500 feet is usually threatened by cold weather and regular frosts. However in this growing region the warm and dry trade winds from Mexico's Tehuantepec plain protect the coffee trees against the otherwise harsh conditions. Coffee grown at this altitude produces a highly desirable tangy acidity.
