Fairtrade Guatemala

Tasting notes:

Wonderfully seductive flavour with overtones of dark chocolate mixed with fruit. Delicate and refined aroma, and a finish comparable to a great wine.

Adventure in Guatemala:

Coffee Adventurers; welcome to the heartland of the Maya. Most of Guatemala's coffee is grown 5000ft up on the Pacific slopes of the Sierra Madre Mountains. Here the volcanic soil gives the roots a fine start in life, while the pure air makes sure the beans are clean living and never touched by pesticides. While you're up there, be sure to visit the Mayan city of Tikal - undoubtedly one of the major wonders of the ancient world. Here amongst the temple ruins howler monkeys will serenade you with their wondrous racket and nick your picnic as payment. Be warned. Guatemala has the highest volcanoes in Central America - and most of them are active. So if you experience the shakes, it won't be the coffee.

Change to this product:

Guatemalan coffee farmers are now growing less organically certified coffee than before so sourcing coffee from Guatemala that we can guarantee will be 100% certified organic has become a problem. Until the situation improves we have reluctantly made the decision to take the Soil Association certification off our Guatamala Fairtrade coffee pack. We are hoping that this change will be temporary but in the meantime please be assured that the coffee continues to be of the highest quality and still tastes fantastic. We wouldn't put the Percol stamp on if it were any other way.
