Guatemala Las Amapolas COFFEE BEANS 250 g

GUATEMALA LAS AMAPOLAS is a coffee roasted specifically for espresso machines, coffee makers, French presses, and Aeropresses. The flavor of this coffee is reminiscent of sweet marzipan with a distinctive almond aroma, and the aftertaste is long with noticeable red fruit reminiscent of cherries. The beans come from the mountainous Huehuetenago region, Guatemala's most famous coffee-growing region. Its name comes from the historical Aztec language, Nahuatl, meaning "place of the ancestors." This area ranges in elevation from 300 meters to 3850 meters. Coffee is grown here at altitudes ranging from 1350 to 2000 meters. Only high-quality, hard beans, designated "SHB" (Strictly Hard Beans), are used. Cacao cultivation conditions in Guatemala vary due to the country's diverse climate. Huehuetenango is a region with excellent conditions for growing dense beans. Intense daytime sun and cool nighttime winds promote slow plant growth, guaranteeing excellent yields. Coffees from this region are renowned for their purity of flavor and acidity reminiscent of lemons and tropical fruits.

Our customers most often say that since they started drinking our coffees, they no longer enjoy the market favorites they used to buy. Their sensory complexity opens up a world of flavor and aroma that they long to return for. We invite them to explore new experiences in our extensive selection. Each coffee possesses its own unique flavor registers, linked to the location where it is grown. This is called TERROIR—the type of soil, weather, and climate characteristic of a given area, the annual rainfall, and the altitude of the crops. All these factors determine the unique flavor of coffees from different regions. We are able to bring out this flavor thanks to the roasting method we have perfected over many years. Artisanal Bean Roasting. What distinguishes us from industrial coffee roasters is primarily the quality of the raw material and the roasting method. We roast our coffees at low temperatures in drum kilns, and after roasting, we cool them with ambient air (not water, as in industrial roasters). This allows us to extract the best sensory properties, rich flavor, and unique aroma from the coffees. Throughout the entire process, we use a special program that stores our roasting recipes for each coffee. These are roast profiles that our Roaster (the person who roasts the coffee) has perfected over the years. This ensures that every time you reach for our coffee, its taste will be excellent and consistent. Trusted Suppliers of Raw Coffee: Over the years, we've encountered excellent people in the coffee industry. These include both coffee brokers and farmers themselves. We choose to work only with suppliers who prioritize quality. Transparency and honesty are also important to us. That's why we decided to join the Fairtrade organization. Before every delivery, we know exactly where the beans come from, their quality, the harvest they come from, and their sensory profile. We only use the highest quality premium and specialty beans. Each batch of raw coffee arriving at our roastery is assessed and the moisture level of the beans is tested. This ensures we deliver excellent quality coffee. User-friendly Coffee Packaging: All our coffees are packaged in special packaging equipped with a degassing valve. The bags also feature an easy-open and resealable zipper, ensuring the coffee stays fresh long after opening. The coffees are roasted freshly. The packaging includes all the information about the bean's origin, sensory profile, recommended brewing method, and the roast date of each batch. This will help you make the right choice.
