Guatemala Amatillo
Nestled between the Tecuamburro and Pacaya volcanoes, on the slopes of La Gavia mountain in Guatemala’s Santa Rosa region, you’ll find the village of Pueblo Nuevo Viñas, home of Finca Amatillo. ​Here, founder Roberto Díaz Marroquin and his team have planted Bourbon and Catuaí varieties of coffee under the shade of pine, oak, grevillea and chalu trees. Careful management of the coffee trees, teamed with optimal climate, terroir and altitude, results in a fantastic coffee. In this lot, the cherries have undergone the process, resulting in tropical fruit notes, and fantastic sweetness.

Roaster's Notes Guatemala Amatillo
Our first new coffee of the new year doesn't disappoint! We're getting a really satisfying sweetness, with notes of tropical fruit.
About Guatemala
Coffee took off in Guatemala in the 1850s, in the rush to find a new crop to replace the collapsing indigo trade. By 1880, it represented 90% of Guatemala’s exports, but wild growth resulted in the displacement of indigenous peoples, tipping the country into a civil war over issues related to land distribution, poverty, hunger and racism, which rumble on even now.

Today, the country ranks in the top 15 coffee producers, with Bourbon, Typical, Caturra and Catuai beans harvested between December and April.
