Agua Dulce Coffee Beans

Guatemalan coffee is hailed as the aristocrat of coffees, boasting a uniquely distinctive flavor that is rich and carries a perfectly balanced smokiness not found in other growing regions. This unique and captivating smoky note is closely linked to the coffee being grown in volcanic soil. Today, we’re looking at coffee beans from the Huehuetenango region, in the Agua volcano area of the Dulce region.

The Huehuetenango region is located in the highlands of northwestern Guatemala and is renowned for producing high-quality beans. The coffee from this area features a rich and full-bodied taste, with a notable level of body, and its most distinctive flavor is the smokiness.

Agua Dulce is nestled among the towering mountains and lush vegetation of the Huehuetenango region, and is known for producing slightly sweet coffee beans, as well as flavors of cocoa, nuts, and cinnamon spices.

This washed Agua Dulce coffee is of the Bourbon and Catuai varieties. According to cupping and brewing results from Front Street Coffee, its flavor profile includes berries, smokiness, a smooth mouthfeel, and balanced taste.
