Fresh Roasted Guatemalan Coffee
Our fresh roasted Guatemalan coffee is made from 100% Arabica beans that are grown at high altitudes in the Guatemalan highlands. The beans are roasted to a medium roast, which brings out the coffee's natural sweetness and acidity. The resulting coffee has a bright, lively flavor with notes of citrus, chocolate, and spice. This coffee is perfect for those who are looking for a flavorful and energizing cup of coffee.
Recommendation: "Everyday Drinker" A coffee you can literally drink everyday and absolutely love. We have plenty of customers that use this as drip, espresso, French Press, pour over, and even cold brew

ACODIHUE's coffee comes from 71% of indigenous women coffee producers in the mountainous territory of Cuchumatanes, Huehuetenango, with an average altitude of 1,500 meters (4,920 feet) above sea level. They utilize a traditional way of processing: natural fermentation, manual selection and drying in the sun.
Region Info: Huehuetenango is located in Western Guatemala bordering Mexico. It is extremely diverse and known for producing some of the best coffees in Latin America due to its climate, altitude, water sources, and traditional varieties. A range of offerings come out of Huehuetenango, including chocolatey volume offerings and fruit-forward microlots.
Washed Processing Info: The Washed process varies greatly across the growing regions of Guatemala due in large part to the different terroir and terrain that exists from place to place there, but for the most part the primary difference in style is in the length of time that the coffee is allowed to ferment. Generally speaking, coffee is picked ripe and depulped the same or the following day, then allowed to ferment for anywhere between 12–48 hours, depending on the climate. The coffee is then washed clean of its mucilage and spread on patios or raised beds to dry.
