San Marco, vol.

San Marco has the hottest climate of the eight largest coffee producing regions in Guatemala, with a maximum rainfall of 200inches (5000 mm). The rainy season is earlier than in other areas, and coffee trees bloom earlier. Like other remote areas of Guatemala, volcanic San Marco coffee is grown and processed by small farmers. Due to frequent rainfall in the rainy season, most coffees are pre-dried in the sun and then dried in a Guardiola dryer.

[characteristics] there are subtle floral aromas in the aroma and taste, obvious acidity and good mellow thickness.
