GUATEMALA La Morena

This is more than just an exceptional coffee; it's a coffee with a powerful story.

"La Morena" translates to "the dark-haired woman," and this coffee is a tribute to the resilience, dedication, and skill of the female coffee producers of Guatemala. In a traditionally male-dominated industry, these women have overcome significant barriers to produce this stunning coffee, taking control of their futures and building a legacy for their families. This lot is a testament to their hard work, representing a community-driven effort to create a consistent, high-quality coffee with a purpose.

Sourced from the renowned coffee-growing region of Huehuetenango, these beans are grown at high altitudes, developing a dense structure and a deep, inherent sweetness. This is the quintessential Guatemalan profile, balanced, sweet, and incredibly versatile. By choosing La Morena, you're not just buying a bag of beans; you're directly supporting a program that empowers women and strengthens communities.
