Guatemala Huehuetenango Coffee: Showstopper
Our medium roast Guatemala Huehuetenango Coffee, proudly named Showstopper, honors the bold men and women of the traveling Wild West shows. Crafted as a tribute to the true showstoppers who captivated audiences across the land, Showstopper embodies the same charisma and excellence that made these performers legendary. The beans for this roast are meticulously sourced from the renowned Huehuetenango region of Guatemala, ensuring a premium and unforgettable coffee experience.
Origin & Farm Information
Grown in the stunning Huehuetenango region of Guatemala, our Showstopper coffee thrives at elevations between 5,500 to 7,500 feet above sea level. This high-altitude environment plays a crucial role in developing the beans' rich and complex flavor profiles. The average temperatures in this region range from 60°F to 75°F, creating a cool climate that slows down the bean maturation process. This slow growth enhances the beans' density and flavor complexity while naturally reducing pest populations, thereby minimizing the need for pesticides. Local farmers meticulously hand-pick each bean to ensure only the highest quality beans make it to your cup, preserving the integrity and distinctive character of every harvest.
Roasting Level & Process
Our Showstopper coffee undergoes a medium roast, expertly calibrated to balance the beans' inherent sweetness with a rich, full-bodied profile. The roasting process is carefully controlled to develop a harmonious blend of flavors without overpowering the coffee’s natural characteristics. This medium roast enhances the beans' vibrant acidity and complex flavor notes, resulting in a smooth and balanced cup that highlights the unique attributes of Huehuetenango coffee. By maintaining this precise roasting level, we ensure that each sip delivers both depth and clarity, making it a versatile choice for various brewing methods and palates.
