About Our Guatemalan Coffee Beans

Coffee arrived in Guatemala from the Caribbean around 1700 and local cultivation began shortly after. Commercial export of Guatemalan Coffee Beans did not begin until the mid 1800’s.

The high mountains shrouded in mist on the volcanic slopes of southern Guatemala produces one of the most distinctive and desirable coffees. With its surprisingly deep, rich body and muted overtones, our premium grade Guatemalan 'El Fogon' arabica coffee has a rich body, with spice and chocolate flavor hints and a clean finish.

27-Jun-09 - Excellent soft rich chocolatey and velvety. It is a great expresso for people who might find some coffee beans to aggressive for an expresso. We absolutely loved this, so much so we bought a kilo of the beans. Please please please keep this one on your books.

07-Apr-10 - Nice coffee with a rich chocolate taste, to mild for my personal taste, not enough get up and go unlike morining glory which really kick starts your day, please bring it back.

03-May-10 - Dissapointed to receive Honduras instead of Guatemalan due to non availability. I usually mix 2/3rds Guatemalan with 1/3rd Sumatran for a really delicious cup of coffee. Coffee quality is superb.

03-Nov-10 - Got to be a personal favourite of mine, rich and velvety, excellent crema, no bitterness at all, superb aroma and aftertaste, the coffee to convert anyone to espresso.

11-Jun-11 - Good - but not great. Zero acidity which is appealing but the finish leans towards cocoa and somewhat earthy tones which wasn't for me but I can see the appeal. In milk I didn't feel the cocoa cut through that well either so overall this is certainly worth a try but this isn't the best espresso I've had.

3 out of 5.

19-Oct-11 - This makes a superb espresso - rich, loads of crema, low acidity but very "alive" without the burnt characteristics that high roast, low acidity coffees can often have. I'll be buying this again.
