Guatemala: HHT SHB, Huehuetenango

Huehuetenango’s Cuchumatán highlands channel dry mountain winds that allow coffee to ripen at altitude and dry evenly—key to the region’s reputation for clean sweetness and crisp structure. Smallholders handpick and deliver to community wet mills where careful washed processing keeps flavors tidy and bright. Held at a measured medium roast, this SHB lot settles on milk chocolate and cane‑caramel over a neat cocoa frame, lifted by orange zest and a gentle red‑apple note. Acidity lands medium and precise; the mouthfeel is silky and rounded. Expect a crisp, cane‑sweet finish with subtle cocoa persistence—dependable, refined, and distinct.
