Explore Guatemala’s Distinctive Green Coffee Origins

Guatemala’s high-altitude terrain—soaring over 4,000 meters above sea level—makes it one of the most dynamic coffee-growing countries in Central America. With eight distinct Arabica-producing regions, the country offers exceptional variety for specialty coffee roasters seeking complexity, balance, and clarity in the cup. Our Guatemalan green coffee beans are mainly sourced from: Huehuetenango, Nuevo Oriente , and Cubulco. Each offers a unique combination of elevation, climate, and farmer expertise.

Huehuetenango, one of Guatemala’s few non-volcanic regions, is known for its dry, warm days and cool nights—creating ideal microclimates that support slow, even cherry development. These coffees are bright, clean, and highly sought after for their consistent quality.

Nuevo Oriente is a rising star among Guatemala’s coffee regions. The region’s soil is distinct: composed of mineral-rich metamorphic rock, rather than the more common volcanic ash found elsewhere in Guatemala. This factor results in coffees that are balanced, full bodied with a signature chocolaty flavor.

From the steep slopes of the Chuacus mountains, Cubulco coffees stand out with their floral aromatics, bright acidity, and round, structured body. Produced primarily by smallholders working nutrient-rich volcanic soils, these coffees bring terroir and tradition together in every roast.
