Introduction to Guatemala Acatenango La Cascada of Manor Askanango-Cascada, Guatemala

Ackernan fruit producing area is a new producing area promoted to SCAA by the Guatemalan Coffee Association.

The Akanango region produces one of the highest altitude coffee beans in Guatemala as nearby volcanoes Fuego and Pacaya continue to erupt, leaving the rough, sandy soil rich in minerals. The Akernan fruit producing area has a special micro-climate. During the day, hot and humid air is brought from the coast under the care of the Pacific Ocean, and dry and cold air from the highlands of Guatemala is received at dawn and night. The large temperature difference between day and night makes the coffee in this area more sweet.

La Cascada comes from the Acatenango Valley, a very unique coffee producing area in Guatemala, the smallest of the eight largest coffee producing areas in Guatemala, located on the hillside of a volcano, with an average elevation of 1600 meters above sea level. Its soil is rich in volcanic mixtures and comes from new volcanic ash that often erupts from nearby Fuego volcanoes. The climate is characterized by four distinct seasons, which allows farmers to sun-dry their coffee in spring, Rain Water, which infuses coffee trees with abundant humidity in summer, and warm, humid sea breezes from the Pacific Ocean in winter to protect coffee from the cold.

Taste description: drupe, caramel, honey and dried fruit, strong spices, mellow and sweet like brown sugar, with typical smoky, citrus and floral aromas in the finish.
