Although most Guatemalan coffees end up coming from Huehue or Fraijanes, the region of Antigua is what made Guatemalan coffee famous. The most recognized of the Guatemalan regions producing premium coffee. The city of Antigua is in many ways a modern coffee Eden. It’s iconic, laid back, gorgeously ornate, and for a city of its size it is absolutely teeming with historic coffee infrastructure. Coffee from most of this region is known simply as “Antigua”, and their sugar profiles range from butterscotch to marzipan sweetness, and acids from lemonade-like piquancy to dessert wine or tangy dried fruit.

This coffee comes from family-owned farms located near the city of Antigua between volcanoes named Agua (water) and Fuego (fire) within the department of Sacatepequez, Guatemala. Coffee produced in the Antigua region has a protected designation of origin (PDO) because of Antigua’s renowned coffee reputation. Coffee is traditionally grown in this region under a canopy of grevillea trees and native shade trees called chalum (ingas).

Flavor
A great example of Antigua coffee, with the wonderful floral versus chocolaty notes that made the region so famous. Very clean and balanced – not too acidic, not too bitter – sweet edged and has a wonderful mix of cocoa and floral tones. A perfect daily drinker.
