Guatemala - Gualvador

Please note: Pre-ground coffee beans can quickly lose their freshness, resulting in a notable decrease in aroma and flavor. For this reason, we do not offer a grinding service. We strongly encourage our customers to grind their coffee beans just before use for the best experience.

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.
