Guatemala might just be coffee heaven, with diverse soils, rainfall, humidity, altitude and temperatures that produce seven distinctive regional types of specialty Arabica beans. The Huehuetenango region is just across the border from Mexico; it has high plains and the highest mountains in Guatemala with peaks over 12,000 feet. Dry, hot winds from southern Mexico sweep across the plain into the rugged mountains – protecting even the highest coffee farms from frost and creating a cool, humid subtropical micro-climate ideal for heirloom Arabica coffees.
Notes:

Processed by the classic wet method: fruit is removed before drying using traditional ferment-and-wash methods and the beans are sun-dried. Produced on Finca Huixoc from trees of the Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai and Mundo Nuevo varieties of Arabica.
