Sunshine in a cup and adventure in every sip. Guatemala El Sol Natural is like a trip to a tropical paradise – sweet, juicy, and full of sunshine. It comes from the renowned Huehuetenango region, where the coffee cherries grow at an altitude of up to 1600 meters above sea level, and thanks to the dry (natural) processing, it boasts wonderfully intense flavors. What awaits you in the cup? Raisins, figs, dried apricots, and a delicate hint of almonds. Every drop will warm you up like the rays of Central American sun.
This coffee is grown on the La Bolsa farm, nestled between two mountains in the La Libertad region. And no, these are not just any hills – it is located in the foothills of the Cuchumatanes mountains, which is the highest non-volcanic massif in all of Central America! Thanks to the unique microclimate and the limestone soil with high pH, the ideal conditions for growing coffee with a rich flavor profile are created here. The farm is in the hands of Maria Elena Vides, who has been tending to the coffee trees since 1996 and also supports the local community, such as through a children’s education support project. So, with every sip of this coffee, you're making the world a better place.
When coffee is processed using the dry method, it means the cherries are dried whole, allowing the bean to absorb maximum sweetness and fruity notes. The result? Full body, beautiful sweetness, and juicy fruitiness that will transport you to a Guatemalan plantation without the need for a plane ticket. If you're looking for a coffee that will put a smile on your face and energize you even on the coldest days, El Sol Natural is the clear choice.
