Guatemala: Proyecto Xinabajul Paraiso
This is a small lot is built from the coffees of a few small producers in the El Paraiso micro-region of Huehuetenango. This lush, high-land valley boasts a dramatic landscape of jutting cliffs and seemingly endless green as far as you can see. Farmers in the region, grow coffee on small parcels of land often adjacent to where they live - in many cases less than one hectare of coffee. Expect chocolate, caramelized sugars, hints of flan and chocolate stout. This coffee is quite versatile, working well as espresso, pour over, drip, and French press.
