This Coffee's Story:

Huehuetenango is the highest and driest of the three non-volcanic coffee regions under cultivation. Thanks to the dry, hot winds that blow into the mountains from Mexico's Tehauntepec plain, the region is protected from frost, allowing Highland Huehue to be cultivated up to 6,500 feet (2,000 meters).

The extreme remoteness of Huehuetenango requires all producers to process their own coffee. Fortunately, the region has an almost infinite number of rivers and streams, so a mill can be placed almost anywhere. Zaculeu, named after the pre-Colombian Mayan archeological site in Huehuetenango, is a blend of fine coffee sourced from a select group of small producers. This coffee is one of the most intensely flavored and fragrant coffees in all of Latin America

We hope you enjoy this very special coffee from Guatemala -- The land of eternal spring.
