Guatemala Oriente Filter Coffee — Origin
The Nuevo Oriente region is located in eastern Guatemala near the border with Honduras. Elevations ranging from 1,300 to 1,600 meters above sea level, volcanic soils, and a cool climate create ideal conditions for producing high-quality Arabica coffee. This lot is composed of Pacas, Bourbon, Caturra, and Catuai varieties. Coffee cherries are hand-picked from November through March, with careful selection of only fully ripe fruit. The natural processing method preserves the fruit-forward character of the coffee and highlights its natural sweetness.
