Guatemala - Gualvador

Note: Pre-ground coffee beans will get stale quicker, which may cause it to lose its aromatic subtleties. Although we'd be happy to grind the coffee beans to your liking, we highly recommend our customers to grind their coffee beans just before consumption.   

This coffee comes from Gualvador Estate, managed by Mr. Jaime Rios, a third-generation coffee grower. Established in 1908, the farm is situated in the New Oriente region of Guatemala, one of the country’s oldest coffee-growing areas. This region is known for its persistent rain and cloud cover and is located on what was once a volcanic range, resulting in soil rich in metamorphic rock and well-balanced minerals. The farm spans the border between Guatemala and El Salvador, hence the name "Gualvador," combining the names of both countries.

The coffee has a distinctive, fruity character due to its anaerobic fermentation, which enhances its acidity and flavor profile. We found that using a Hario V60 brewer accentuates its green mango, jackfruit, and red wine notes beautifully.
