Description

Guatemala Doña Linda is a specialty coffee from the Nuevo Oriente region, grown at elevations of 1,200–1,500 meters above sea level. This lot comes from Doña Linda Farm, owned by producer Walter Lemus. Thanks to high-altitude cultivation, volcanic soils, and washed processing, the coffee develops a clean, bright, and well-balanced flavor profile. In the cup, expect notes of lemon, dried fruits, and black tea. The combination of sweetness, delicate citrus acidity, and a tea-like texture makes this coffee an excellent choice for espresso, automatic coffee machines, and everyday home brewing.

Guatemala Doña Linda — Coffee Origin

Doña Linda Farm is located in the Nuevo Oriente region of eastern Guatemala. The Catuai variety is cultivated at elevations above 1,200 meters and is classified as Strictly Hard Bean (SHB). Volcanic soils, high humidity, and a cool climate contribute to the slow maturation of coffee cherries, allowing complex flavors to develop. The harvest takes place from December through March, with only fully ripe cherries carefully handpicked and selected.
