This coffee comes from 76 small holder farmers in the highlands of Guatemala near the Mexico border, in the Cantinil region of Huehuetenango. It features a blend of Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, and Pache varieties grown at 1,500-1,800 meters elevation and processed using the washed method. The coffee presents complex notes of pomegranate and white grape with subtle floral undertones of honeysuckle and chamomile, finishing with a pleasantly nutty, almond-like character.
