Region: Huehuetenango

Varietal: Caturra, Bourbon

La Ceiba Program
This coffee from Guatemala is named for the country’s national tree, the Ceiba. In early Mayan and Mesoamerican cultures, the Ceiba symbolized the connection between land and sky. The Ceiba lot from Huehuetenango is a community coffee, investing in sustainable sourcing to benefit a large group of producers. Our importer and their sourcing partner for Ceiba maintains a close connection with producers and is active in improving regional coffee infrastructure. After the leaf rust epidemic several years ago, Huehuetenango is still recovering and Unitrade’s support of producers has been crucial to keeping family farms in operation. Coffee from the mountain communities around Huehuetenango is specifically selected for its fruity profile.

We’re loving the big body and sweetness this coffee gives! When it’s hot, it has big rich notes of milk chocolate, cherry and apricot with a smooth creamy sweetness that makes it an excellent classic coffee. This is a coffee for everyone to enjoy - as it cools down it becomes more fruity with peachy stonefruit notes and a beautiful caramelly mouthfeel.
