Guatemala Coffee grading reference

SHB (Strictly Hard Bean): coffee beans that grow above 4500 feet above sea level.

HB (Hard Bean): coffee beans that grow above 4000 feet above sea level.

The higher the altitude, the slower the coffee beans grow, the tighter the structure, and the more mellow the taste. Due to the long ripening period, the beans are medium and dense (Guatemalan coffee beans are rated not by particle size, but by the number of defects), and the bean color is dark turquoise.

Seven main coffee areas in Guatemala: Antigua,Coban,Atitlan,Huehuetenango,Fraijanes,Oriente and San Marcos.
