Antigua, Guatemala
Antigua’s coffee is world famous, coming from Valle de la Ermita, Guatemala’s original capital city.
Antigua is known for its volcanic soil, sunlit regions, low humidity, and high elevation.
Volcán de Agua, Volcán de Fuego, and Volcan de Acatenango surround Antigua, feeding its soil with layers of fresh volcanic minerals when active.
Often, a dense shade falls over Antigua, protecting its coffee plants and providing nitrogen.

ROAST & USE RECOMMENDATIONS
Antigua has an excellent roast range. Medium roast Antigua is great for Americanos and a medium dark roast is perfect for drip. However, our favorite way to have Antigua beans is to roast them darker for espresso and milk based drinks--especially iced! Pair with a chocolate cake.
