Guatemalan Coffee: The Best of All

Marvin Carias and his family are passionate Guatemalan coffee growers dedicated to producing Specialty Guatemalan coffee on their farm located in the beautiful wooded landscape of Jalapa.

The farm is located between 1600 and 1700 meters above sea level, which, together with the mild climate and richness of the soil, create ideal conditions for the cultivation of Arabica coffee trees such as Bourbon or Caturra.

Their commitment to excellence and sustainability is reflected in their own washing station, where they carefully process not only their cherries, but also those of their neighbors, who are all small local coffee growers.

Collaboration yields strength

Thanks to the dedication of Marvin and his family, as well as the collaboration with the small local coffee growers, the Guatemala coffee produced at Marvin and his family’s washing station stands out for its outstanding quality.

The collaboration with their neighboring coffee growers is essential for Marvin’s success, as they rely on his experience to highlight the best of their coffees during processing.

This community-based approach not only strengthens local ties, but also contributes to a more dignified and prosperous life for all involved.

Processing of this Guatemala coffee

The coffee growers of Jalapa have been improving their knowledge and cultivation methods and now only pick the cherries that are at their optimal ripening point. Once they arrive at the washing station, they are inspected again to discard any that may be defective or unripe.

In the washing process, the seeds of the cherries are separated from the pulp and mucilage. Then, the seeds are washed thoroughly before moving on to drying.

The washed coffee beans are dried in patios with stunning views of the mountainous and wooded landscape of this region.

In addition, traceability is a key aspect for Marvin and his family. Each batch of coffee is perfectly traced back to its origin farm, which guarantees the transparency and authenticity of the final product.

About Guatemalan Coffee

Guatemalan coffee has a rich history that dates back to the 18th century, when it was introduced by Spanish friars. The first coffee plantation was established in Antigua Guatemala in 1760, marking the beginning of a rapid growth in coffee cultivation throughout the country. By the 19th century, Guatemala had already become one of the leading coffee producers in the world.

The coffee industry in Guatemala has faced several challenges over the years, including the civil war, climate change, and competition from other coffee-producing countries. However, the industry has continued to grow and, today, Guatemala is the sixth largest coffee producer in the world.

Coffee is an important export crop for Guatemala and contributes significantly to the country’s economy. In 2020, coffee exports accounted for 10% of Guatemala’s total exports. Coffee is also an important source of employment for the country, with over 500,000 people employed in the coffee industry.

The Guatemalan coffee industry is constantly evolving. In recent years, it has focused on improving coffee quality, betting on specialty Guatemalan coffee, and promoting Guatemalan coffee in the international market.

The government of Guatemala has implemented several programs to support the coffee industry, including training programs for coffee growers, coffee certification programs, and programs to promote Guatemalan coffee in the international market.

The factors that support the growth of the coffee industry in Guatemala are remarkable. The country has an ideal climate and soil for coffee cultivation, and its successful track record in this sector provides confidence in its potential to continue producing quality coffee.

This is the most current recipe available. It is important to note that this recipe serves as a reference and in fact there are a bunch of variables which influence the final espresso in your cup: from the state of your machine and grinder, the water that you use, the rest and conservation of your coffee beans, to the atmospheric temperature and pressure, etc, and therefore, you might have to tweak the recipe to be able to find a juicy and balanced espresso with your specific set up.

This is the cold brew coffee recipe that we propose for you to make 600ml of cold brew. The ratio, in case you want to brew more or less than this quantity, is 1:15, 1gr of coffee for every 15gr/ml of water.

Recipe and equipment:

• Coffee 40gr. (Use whichever coffee you prefer. We suggest coffees that you like in filter. The ones that are tagged with “Cold Brew” are our favourites).
• Grind size: Comandante 16 clicks.
• Water 600gr/ml at room temperature.
• Water composition: 2 parts of Lanjarón for 1 part of Bezoya.
• Mesh or silk.
• Glass container (preferably with a lid).
• Let it rest for 22 hours (in the fridge).

The way to make cold brew:

• Grind the coffee with a medium grind. Comandante 16 clicks.
• Pour the coffee directly into the mesh.
• Introduce the mesh in the glass container.
• Pour the water into the container through the mesh with the coffee.
• Swirl to wet all the coffee.
• Cover the container.
• Let it rest for 22 hours in the fridge (beware of strong odors!).
• When complete remove the mesh with the coffee and it will be ready.
• Bonus: you can filter it again through a V60, Kalita or similar paper filter to obtain a clean and more crystalline result.
• Keep it refrigerated.
• This recipe is not to dilute. Not even with ice. If you add ice, the composition of the ice water will affect the taste of your drink. Better to make your own ice with the same composition of water proposed. If you use ice, you may want to lower the ratio (1:9 to 1:12).
