How we are using this coffee:

Guatemala makes an appearance on our menu as a heavy hitting single origin coffee, and also helps bridge the gap in our blends when certain coffees go out of season. These coffees offer crisp acidity, full body, and can have some really nice complex fruit notes.

About this coffee

The Quetzal (the national bird of Guatemala) Program was born after the creation of Cafe Import’s “Regional Select – Waykan”, which was their way of highlighting the distinct regional differences we saw coming out of Guatemala. Producers wanted to sell more coffee, and Quetzal as a program allowed Cafe to buy more and pay more along the larger quality spectrum for high quality coffees from these hardworking men and women in Guatemala.
