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.
From Honduran Highlands to Your Cup
In Marcala, Honduras, coffee is not just grown — it’s lived. What began with sixty-nine farmers determined to protect their land has grown into COMSA, a cooperative of more than 1,200 members whose work reaches from the mountainside to the classroom. Their coffee carries with it not only the flavour of the highlands, but the promise of a stronger, more hopeful community.
How Roast Level Shapes the Character of Coffee
The journey from green bean to finished coffee is shaped by countless decisions, but none more influential than roast level. This single factor determines whether a coffee is lively and bright, smooth and balanced, or bold and intense. At H.R.Higgins, we roast with purpose, tailoring each profile to bring out the finest qualities in the bean. Here’s how each roast style creates its own distinct experience in the cup.
