ORIGIN
This coffee is grown at Finca La Bolsa in Guatemala’s Huehuetenango highlands. Farms sit between 1,500 and 1,600 meters, where warm air from Mexico meets cool mountain currents, creating a unique microclimate. This environment, along with fertile soil and abundant rivers, allows Caturra and Bourbon varieties to develop vibrant flavor. Producers here use small wet mills and patio drying to preserve quality. Recognized as SHB and EP grade, this coffee reflects Huehuetenango’s reputation for clean, bright, and fruit-driven profiles.

The cup is juicy with gentle acidity, finishing clean and sweet. Versatile across brewing methods, it performs beautifully in pour-over, drip, or press. Directly sourced from Finca La Bolsa, this lot captures the precision and care that define Guatemala’s finest highland coffees.
Guatemala Huehuetenango FAQ
Expect a bright, clean cup with a juicy sweetness. The flavour leans green apple and citrus up front, followed by chocolate and a sweet finish. It feels lively without being sharp, which is why it is such a strong choice for pour-over and filter coffee.
Guatemala Huehuetenango is a medium roast. It is roasted to keep the cup sweet and clean while letting the green apple and citrus notes come through, with chocolate sweetness and a bright, gentle finish.
It means Happy Goat has a dedicated relationship with the producer, with a specific lot selected for the flavour profile you expect from this coffee. This helps keep the cup consistent from roast to roast and supports a long-term sourcing partnership rather than one-off spot buying.
Pour-over and drip coffee bring out the clearest version of the flavour notes, especially the green apple, citrus, and sweet finish. AeroPress is also a great fit if you want the same profile with a bit more intensity and body. French press will taste rounder and more chocolate-forward.
