Grown by villagers on the shore of beautiful Lake Atitlan. Complex flavors with high grown acidity. 100% Organic.

These coffee beans have been certified “USDA Organic” by OCIA. This means they’re grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Please note that while all Rogers Coffee is Responsibly Grown on bio-diverse shade-grown farms, our Organic Coffee Co. brand features only coffee those farms that have specifically become organic certified.

This country can boast about great coffee !! Guatemalan coffees are some of the most amazing fragrant and aromatic coffees in the world. The natural shade and jungle of the Guatemalan highlands are the perfect environment for the bourbon botanical variety of arabica, Guatemalan growing regions vary in their potential cup quality: many have sufficient altitude, soil and climate conditions. Antiguas are well-known and highly rated.

Huehuetenango from the north highland can be exceptional and have distinct fruit flavors. It produces a wonderful bright coffee with nice body, and excellent floral tones and fruitiness. Coban, Fraijanes and Quiche can be nice, but they need to be cupped carefully: they can have a nice cup but sometimes less complexity and depth.

Atitlan has produced some very fine coffees in the past few years. But remember, you can’t count on any origin to necessarily produce a great coffee: the quality cup is still hard to find among even the most celebrated and recognized regions …in this case Antigua.
