Description of Coffee
A single origin, washed coffee from a collection of small producers from the northwestern highlands of Guatemala - specifically from the Cuilco region of Huehuetenango. Bourbon, Caturra and Pache are the varietals and we roast medium-light - this keeps the delicateness, with hints of fruit (grape) and liveliness.
Brings a really enjoyable cup of coffee with lots of layers - filter keeps that delicacy, but really nice as an espresso based drink as well.

Farm and Producer Details
Farm and Producer Details
A collection of small coffee producers in the northwestern highlands of Guatemala, specifically in the Cuilco region of Huehuetenango, form the backbone of Hunbatz.
Among the Mayans, the howler monkey god was a primary deity of art and music and a patron of the artisans, especially the scribes and sculptors.
According to the sixteenth-century Popol Vuh creation myth, two brothers, Hunbatz and Hunchouen, were once talented dancers and artists. By nature, these two sons were wise, and their wisdom was great. All the arts were taught to Hunbatz and Hunchouén, the sons of Hun-Hunahpú. They were flautists, singers, shooters with blowguns, painters, sculptors, jewellers and silversmiths.
The story goes that they climbed a tree; it grew up so tall that Hunbatz and Hunchouen could not get down. As they struggled in the branches, their loincloths came loose and turned into tails; they both became monkeys, one a spider monkey, the other a howler monkey.
