Guatemala Volcan de Fuego Guacatepeque

Roasted and Ready! Guatemala Volcan de Fuego Guacatepeque.

Guacatepeque is an ancient local name for the are this coffee comes from, a group of small coffee producers in the Alotenango area. The soil in the are is unique, and contains quite a lot of sand and ash from Fuego. Much of the area is forest preserve, which protects the water supply, as well as providing the much needed organic soil inputs. This lot was chosen through daily cuppings by our buyer, until they reached a specific flavor profile.

In the cup it's toasted hazelnut and orange notes with buttered toffee and caramelized sugar sweetness.
