Finca Nueva Granada Geisha honey

Nueva Granada is a highland farm where coffee grows in rich volcanic soil and ripens slowly, producing Guatemala’s best Hard Bean and Strictly Hard Bean Arabica coffees. During the harvest, Nueva Granda grades its coffee and stores them in burlap bags in a special dry storeroom. When an order comes frome a boutique roaster, the parchment covering is removedd and Nueva Granada’s blue-green beans are carefully and perfectly selected and prepared for shipment. Because Nueva Granda is a small estate farm, great care is taken in the preparation and grading of its high-grown Arabica coffees. Nueva Granada has a long and well known tradition of excellence.

Guatemala’s coffee belt runs along a chain of 34 volcanoes that crosses the country from East to West and benefits the coffee production with soils rich in minerals and nutrients. The soil is mostly volcanic, limestone and pumice. Consistent rainfall and year round warm climate guarantee the crops. The coffee is mostly grown under Gravilea and Inga shade trees which make 7% of the national forest. It is always hand-picked and dried under the sun, except for the Cobán coffee, which production region is sometimes too humid.
