Illy Monoarabica Single-Origin Coffee - Guatemala

Illy Monoarabica^TM Guatemala – Huehuetenango

Single-origin coffee is a complex medium bodied, medium roast coffee with notes of chocolate, caramel and honey.

Origin

Rising high above sea level, the pristine mountains of Huehuetenango in Guatemala are as remote as they are beautiful. Here warm winds from Mexico neutralize the cold of the 6,500-foot altitude, providing perfect growing conditions in the shade of the Maya forest—producing one of the world’s finest growing regions.

Taste and Aroma

The rare combination of altitude, warmth, and shade found in Huehuetenango gives this coffee its balanced sweetness, and range of tastes and aromas including chocolate, caramel, honey and citrus. The result is a supremely enjoyable coffee experience.

From the Taster's Notes

Characterized by a sweet and aromatic organoleptic profile, this Arabica variety is recognizable by its distinct sweetness and balance. It is enriched by a range of aromas, among which the chocolate, caramel, citruses and honey notes stand out.

Technical

Selection of Strictly Hard Beans (SHB grown above 4000 feet) prepared for Illy with zero defects, processed via the washed method.
