Los Huipiles Guatemalan coffee embodies the distinguished quality of Huehuetenango, a renowned region where coffee is grown at elevations ranging from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. Benefiting from the warm, dry winds of Mexico’s Tehuantepec plain, these high-altitude farms are shielded from frost, enabling exceptional coffee cultivation. The region’s remote nature often necessitates the establishment of micro-mills by local farmers, while its network of rivers supports washed coffee processing.

The Huipiles regional blend is a celebration of Huehuetenango's diverse cultural and agricultural landscape. Named after the traditional huipil, a garment marked by intricate, region-specific embroidery, the blend mirrors the complexity and craftsmanship found in these communities. This coffee offers a medium body and balanced acidity, with layered flavors of milk chocolate, vanilla, brown spices, pear, and pecan, providing a true expression of Huehuetenango's unique terroir.

As a Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) coffee, grown at high altitudes, the beans mature slowly, absorbing more nutrients and developing a denser, sweeter profile. Carefully sorted to European Preparation (EP) standards, the Huipiles blend continues Guatemala's legacy of producing high-quality coffee that reflects the country’s rich agricultural heritage and cultural diversity.
