About

Our organic and Fair Trade Guatemala Huehuetenango green coffee is an amazing varietal with a very adaptable nature. We suggest roasting this green coffee to a medium to medium-dark roast level to ensure none of the delicate flavors are lost. High-grown Guatemalan coffees such as this are prized for their balanced and flavorful body.

Our unroasted, green coffee selection is intended for roasting purposes. Do not consume green coffee. Green coffee that has been purchased and roasted is not returnable.
