Central America, and particularly Guatemala, produces some of the finest, if not
the finest coffees in the world. Terms like “kaleidoscopic, exceptionally sweet,
elegant and powerful” have been used by coffee professionals when describing
Guatemalan highland coffees.
The use of large trees for shading coffee is a Guatemalan coffee-growing custom
and is said to have been developed here.
Coffee grown under the proper level of shade takes longer to develop, which
favors the development of rich and complex flavors. On top of that, shade-grown
coffee is one of the most environmentally benign crops in the world and is perhaps
the ideal agro forestry crop. Over 100 species of shade trees have been counted
on a single Guatemalan coffee farm.
Sun drying on "patios" is the traditional way in Guatemala. The coffee is raked in
every evening and put out again during the day for one to two weeks. There is still
one layer, the parchment, to be taken off of the berry before final grading and
shipping.

Shade grown
Several species of trees, including bamboo (Guadua angustifolia) and macadamia, thrive on the Oriflama farm. In fact, over 100 species of trees have been counted as part of the shade regime at Oriflama. Oriflama coffee is certified for sustainability by the Rainforest Alliance--a rigorous standard that is broader in scope than organic certification. |
Organic Guatemalan Coffee |
Breathe in the rich aroma as you savor the sweet, nutty finish of this Central American organic coffee. The beans are grown at an altitude of about 5700 feet. At this height, the coffee grows slowly creating a hard dense bean, which delivers a delicious flavor profile.

This makes a great cup of coffee.
