Guatemala Crucitas, MEDIUM ROAST, Arabica coffee beans

The Las Crucitas area is located 32 kilometres southeast of the capital Guatemala City. It covers an area of more than 113 hectares. Of this, 90 hectares are dedicated to coffee production and the remaining 23 hectares are a forest reserve where trees and natural vegetation thrive.

The coffee from this area has twice won the Illy Award and has been listed in the Specialty Coffee Association of America's Q-Awards Guatemala. This is mainly due to the quality of the soil and the microclimate itself: clay and mineral composition of the soil with high potassium content and ash from the Pacaya volcano. The result is a full-bodied and delicious-tasting coffee with the 'Strictly Hard Bean coffee' label, a designation that ensures that the coffee was grown at an altitude above 1,350 metres above sea level and that the beans were hand-sorted.
