Front Street-Guatemala Water washed Coffee

Coffee was introduced into Guatemala in 1750 by Father Jesuit. At the end of the 19th century, German colonists made great efforts to develop the local coffee industry. For more than a hundred years, coffee has been the economic lifeline of Guatemala. The crisscross mountain topography, the mountains and plateaus formed by more than 3000 meters of volcanoes, and the neighboring Atlantic and Pacific Ocean interweave more than 300 kinds of microclimates, these geographical factors give birth to eight well-defined producing areas, each producing area has its own unique flavor, the main varieties are bourbon, iron pickup, Kaddura, Guatemala produces high-quality Central American high-altitude very hard coffee beans. It is the ninth largest producer of coffee beans in the world.

Guatemalan coffee beans belong to bourbon coffee beans, is one of the more sour varieties, taste mellow and slightly wild, even if you do not drink, just smell is a kind of enjoyment, your thoughts will follow its unique aroma to far away, to free you from the cage of life and work. When you take a sip, the seductive fragrance swirls around in your mouth, swallowing the first mouthful, which seems rare and ordinary, but as the coffee cools slowly, the multiple fruit aromas give you a slight sweet smell to surprise you, and the faint smoke aroma gives you an aftertaste.

Guatemala is aware of the importance of high altitude for fine coffee, so it is one of the few countries to classify directly according to the altitude at which it is grown. In Guatemala, the highest beans grown are called SHB (extremely hard beans), which are eligible for this grade only if they are more than 1370 meters above sea level. The next level is called HB (high hard beans), which requires an altitude of 1200 to 1300 meters. Below the altitude are SH (slightly hard beans), EPW (excellent water washed beans), PW (high quality water washed beans), EGW (special good water washed beans) and so on. If you buy Guatemala beans later, you will know its Rank by looking at the logo.

SHB grade extremely hard beans are recognized as hard and difficult to bake, but because of the large temperature difference between day and night, the coffee beans have large granules and smooth surface, dignified appearance and mellow taste. The coffee beans produced by the Hunapu project are SHB at an altitude of 1500-1800 meters, and the harvest season is from December to April of the following year.

The aroma of a cup of coffee condenses its origin: place of origin, variety, harvest maturity and treatment, roasting, grinding and extraction, etc., is the lifetime journey and destination of a coffee bean.
