Bourbon (Atitlán Region)
From Lake Atitlán's nutrient-rich volcanic highlands (1,500-1,800m), Bourbon yields medium-large, dense beans with bright acidity, sweet berry, caramel, and subtle chocolate notes. This heirloom variety delivers a silky body and floral finish, reflecting Atitlán's misty microclimate for balanced, elegant cups.
Catuai (Atitlán Region)
Catuai, a high-yielding hybrid, thrives in Atitlán's 1,400-1,700m elevations, producing small-to-medium beans with vibrant citrus acidity, nutty undertones, and honeyed sweetness. Its compact growth suits dense planting, yielding consistent, clean profiles with a medium body ideal for versatile roasts.
Caturra (Atitlán Region)
A Bourbon mutation excelling in Atitlán's fertile slopes (1,300-1,700m), Caturra offers small, dense green beans bursting with lemon zest, floral aromatics, and tea-like crispness. High resistance and productivity make it a staple, with juicy acidity and refined sweetness shining in light roasts.
Typica (Atitlán Region)
The foundational Arabica from Atitlán's 1,500-2,000m altitudes, Typica features elongated beans with complex fruit (apple, pear), elegant acidity, and spice whispers. Its pure lineage provides clarity and light-to-medium body, capturing the region's cool nights and volcanic minerality.
Pacamara (Huehuetenango Region)
From Huehuetenango's high plateaus (1,500-1,900m), this rare Pacas-Maragogype cross produces large, peaberry-esque beans with massive body, tropical explosion (mango, pineapple, jasmine), and winey depth. The region's dry climate enhances its juicy florals and syrupy finish for standout specialty lots.
SHB Comercial (Santa Rosa & Acatenango Regions)
Strictly High Grown (SHB, 1,500m+), this commercial Arabica blend from Santa Rosa's coastal foothills and Acatenango's volcanic peaks mixes varieties for uniformity. Medium beans offer balanced cocoa, mild fruit, and full body—reliable for espresso blends with smooth acidity and consistency.
Robusta (San Marcos Region)
From San Marcos' lower fringes (600-1,200m), Robusta (Coffea canephora) delivers small, round, dark-green beans with earthy, woody punch, high caffeine, and thick crema. It brings bold chocolate-nut intensity to blends, thriving in the region's resilient conditions for robust, affordable depth.
