This remarkable coffee is a testament to the hard work of small-scale producers and the rich volcanic soil that nurtures each precious bean.

**Cupping Notes** 

Experience the vibrant complexity of our Guatemala Roast, featuring **medium acidity** and a **medium body** that creates a perfectly balanced cup.

This harmonious blend of flavors delivers a refreshing yet indulgent coffee experience that is both invigorating and satisfying.

**Origin and Terroir** 

Cultivated at altitudes ranging from 1,800 to 2,000 meters above sea level, this coffee thrives in the unique microclimate of Huehuetenango, where cool mountain air and mineral-rich clay soil create ideal growing conditions. The blend features three distinguished varietals—**Bourbon, Catuai, and Caturra**—each contributing its own character to create a coffee of exceptional depth and complexity.

**Meticulous Processing** 

Our Guatemala Roast undergoes a **fully washed process**, followed by careful drying in both the sun and mechanical dryers. This traditional method ensures a clean, bright cup that highlights the coffee's natural characteristics while maintaining consistency and quality. The result is a pristine, flavorful brew that showcases the best of what Guatemalan coffee has to offer.

**A Community-Driven Partnership** 

Each cup of this coffee tells a story of collaboration and empowerment. The 400 producers, who typically cultivate coffee on just 2 acres of land alongside corn and beans for their families, have partnered with Unitrade Coffee to access international markets and improve their livelihoods. Through this partnership, producers deliver their cherries to a centrally located wet mill in Huehuetenango, ensuring quality processing and fair opportunities.

**Supporting a Greater Cause** 

Beyond exceptional coffee, your purchase supports **CoffeeCare**, an organization established by Unitrade that focuses on education, nutrition, and health for farming communities.

In addition to supporting coffee producers and improve their access to international markets, Unitrade established an organization called CoffeeCare (focused on education, nutrition, and health) to ensure that producers have healthy places to send their children to learn, grow and play while they are harvesting coffee.
