Notes: Hazelnut, cocoa, peanuts, a hint of citrus and a light body

Varieties: Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra

Elevation: 1,500-2,000 meters

Region: The warmest of Guatemala's coffee-growing regions, also has the highest rainfall pattern, reaching up to 200 inches (5,000 mm) a year and humidity levels of 70-80%. The seasonal rains come sooner than in other regions, producing the earliest flowering. The northern portion of the department of San Marcos is mountainous, with the two highest peaks in Central America within its borders. This high elevation, abundant rainfall, and rich mineral content marks San Marcos’ coffee with delicate floral notes with pronounced acidity and good body.

Roast: A Full City roast is a medium-dark roast which leads to a rich, balanced flavor profile. 

Cooperative: Santa Anita is a rural community in the highlands of Quetzaltenango that
consists of approximately forty families who speak five different languages: Spanish and four Mayan indigenous languages. The community was established in 1998 after Guatemala’s violent and destructive 36 year-long Civil War. A group of ex-guerilla fighters, who had previously either sought refuge in the highlands to escape government persecution or were actively fighting in the Civil War, decided to reintegrate into civilian society by purchasing an old coffee farm with a low-interest government loan offered as a part of the reparation process when the Peace Accords were signed in 1996. After several years of working in coffee cultivation, a group of eight members founded Santa Anita Cooperative in 2010 with the goal of formally marketing their coffee and pursuing capacity building opportunities.
