Guatemala La Nueva Era Coffee Beans from Central America
The Central American country of Guatemala has been producing coffee for over 150 years. Our La Nueva Era coffee beans come from a cooperative in the Fraijanes region of Guatemala.
The Fraijanes Plateau type coffees have a higher potassium level in the soil, which tends to bring extra body to these coffees. Fraijanes is it’s own distinct region and actually one of the first areas to grow coffee in Guatemala. Volcan Jumaytepeque forms part of the chain of volcanoes in the area, though is not really active, and the village where the coffee is grown lies in the foothills of the volcano.
With an excellent SCA score of 86, this speciality coffee is a light roast, and has dark berry flavours and makes a creamy, rounded coffee.
As with all our products, it's packed and supplied in 100% biodegradable resealable bags. Our Guatemalan La Nueva Era speciality coffee is available for you to buy online as whole beans to grind at home, or you can purchase it as freshly ground coffee in coarse, medium or fine grinds.
