Product Description
Full City - This medium roast helps to bring out the nuances of the Guatemalan bean. Cup flavors are mild and bright. The body is light but not thin.
Guatemalan coffees are revered as some of the most flavorful and coffees in the world. Strictly Hard Bean European Processed; "SHB" refers to coffee grown at altitudes higher than about 4,500 feet above sea level. Beans grown at high altitudes mature more slowly and grow to be harder and denser than beans grown at lower elevations. The inherent consistency and taste attributes of high grown beans makes them more desirable, and generally more expensive, than coffees grown at lower elevations.
This coffee was produced with the help of Slow Food International. The Slow Food movement that aims to support small-scale producers who preserve crop varieties, agricultural practices, and food traditions. A Presidium, or an organized group of producers, was created in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala with the help of Slow Food. Today, the Presidium consists of 170 small growers who are organized through local cooperatives in three different communities: San Pedro Necta, La Libertad, and Todos Santos Cuchumatán.
