Remote, high-altitude, dry-processed by choice. The region that changed how the world thinks about Guatemalan coffee.

Huehuetenango sits in the western highlands at elevations that reach 2,000 meters — among the highest growing conditions in Central America. A warm, dry wind from the Tehuantepec plain in Mexico protects the region from frost, allowing coffee to grow where it otherwise couldn’t. The result is a bean with exceptional brightness, fruity complexity, and a finish that rewards attention.
