About Guatemalan Huehuetenango Coffee

Guatemalan Huehuetenango is an exquisite coffee that originates from the lush region of Huehuetenango in Western Guatemala, cultivated in collective smallholdings. The beans, consisting of Bourbon, Catimor, Caturra, Maragogype and Pache varieties, are grown at altitudes ranging from 1400 to 2200 meters above sea level. The careful washed processing method brings out the best in these beans, resulting in a flavour profile that boasts a crisp acidity with delightful notes of lemon, rich chocolate undertones, and a sweet almond finish. This coffee promises a memorable and satisfying experience for every cup. Located in Western Guatemala bordering Mexico, Huehuetenango is known for producing some of the best coffees in Latin America.

Characteristics of Huehuetenango coffee include chocolatey volume and fruit-forward flavours. We have selected this Waykan offering for its dynamic character: with crisp acidity reminiscent of lemon, grape, or apple, and a balance of toffee and sweet nuts, like almond.

In the Maya Q’qnjobal dialect in the region, “waykan” means “star, or light that shines in the sky at night.” The indigenous population in and around Huehuetenango plays a significant role in coffee production and coffee accounts either directly or indirectly for roughly 80 percent of the local economy
