The Coffee
Guatemala Nueva Granada is a sumptuous coffee grown in the volcanic highlands of San Marcos.
Grown by Dieter and Holly Nottebaum who have been farming in Guatemala for many years, the coffee is shade-grown and wildlife corridors are preserved.
In addition to growing coffee, the farm provides a school for the children of the estate and computer training, as well as a healthcare clinic. They also pipe fresh spring water to 4,000 nearby residents.
Guatemala Nueva Granada is roasted light, bringing out fruity notes of nectarine, raspberry and apple with a mild acidity.

In this blog post, we'll explore why fresh coffee reigns supreme over its counterparts and why the roasting date takes precedence over the best-before date on all of our H.R.Higgins coffee bags.
