Guatemala Cubulco

Located in central Guatemala, Cubulco is situated near the Sierra de las Minas and Sierra de Chuacus mountain ranges. Moist clay soil and a rainy and temperate-to-cold climate help the cherries mature slowly and develop the coffee’s signature notes of milk chocolate, citrus and hazelnut. Cubulco is part of the department of Baja Verapaz, a region with improving living conditions and a high percentage of indigenous peoples, who are descendants of the Achi ethnic group. The area’s coffee producers are smallholders who use traditional agricultural practices and operate their own wet mills.
