Guatemala Antigua Santo Domingo

This Guatemala Antigua has notes of chocolate, hazelnut, cherries, pomegranate. Antigua is internationally renowned for its high-quality coffees. Rich volcanic soil, low humidity, lots of sun, and cool nights characterize the Antigua Coffee region. This valley is surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango. Every once in a while, Fuego–one of Guatemala’s three active volcanoes–adds a fresh dusting of mineral-rich ash to Antigua’s soil.

Volcanic pumice in the soil retains moisture, which helps offset Antigua’s low rainfall. In Antigua, shade is especially dense to protect the coffee plants from the region’s occasional frost.

Santo Domingo, named after the Church & Monastery whose history can be traced back to 1538 when the Dominicans arrived in Guatemala, is a blend of fine coffee sourced from select groups of small farms ranging in area from 2-20 hectares.
