Grown in a sheltered valley at 1,500m, shaped by three volcanoes and rich soil. The benchmark Guatemalan cup.

Antigua is where most people encounter Guatemalan specialty coffee for the first time — and for good reason. The valley sits at 1,500 meters, ringed by Volcán Agua, Acatenango, and Fuego, whose ash enriches the soil with minerals unavailable in any other growing region. The result is a coffee that’s balanced by design: structured without being sharp, complex without being demanding.
