This lot of Red Bourbon coffee underwent Washed processing.
Region Description:
The Acatenango Valley region is found in the Chimaltenango Department and shares a name with the nearby Acatenango volcano. Coffee here is grown as high as 2000 meters above sea level under dense shade. Constant eruptions from another nearby volcano, Volcán de Fuego, keep the area’s soil fertile and filled with minerals. Temperate gusts from the Pacific Ocean and marked seasons allow coffee to be sun-dried.
