cocoa, dried fruit, and nuttiness, complemented by a medium acidity and rich body

Strictly High Grown (SHG) coffee signifies that the coffee was grown above 1,200 meters. Coffees grown

between 900 – 1200 meters above sea level are classified as High Grown (HG). Higher elevations mean slower

coffee cherry and bean development, leading to more nutrient density and more flavor.

In addition to being hand sorted with European Preparation (EP) standards for less than eight defects per 300

grams of beans, the labor-intensive processes involved in producing this coffee result in a consistently high-quality clean cup

                                                            That's why at Juan Chico Coffee, we use single-origin beans from the Santa Ana region.

About Huehuetenango Coffee

Huehuetenango coffee is grown at heights up to 6,500 feet (2,000masl) in dry and frost-free conditions. By

necessity, farmers in this highly remote area often set up their own mills along the many rivers to process their coffee

Guatemala owes its distinctive, mountainous topography, lush rain forests, biodiversity and its coffee to

massive volcanic activity. Volcanic peaks and mountains roll across the country and carve out Guatemala’s

unique coffee-growing regions. The mountain ranges help to create the country’s unique micro-climates

Together with the rich soil left behind in the wake of immense volcanic activity, Guatemala has the ideal

conditions for coffee production.
