This coffee is a blend produced by various farms, located in the Chimaltenango and Suchitepequez regions.
The coffee plants in this southern area of Guatemala profit from high rainfall and a humid, warm climate. The coffee plants are shade grown by the local “Inga” tree,
that allows local flora and fauna to grow. The coffee plants are nurished by the mineral-rich volcanic soil produced by the surrounding volcanoes of Acatenango and
Fuego. Two volcanoes that have been active for years and constantly renew the minerals and fertility of the soil.
