Guatemala FECCEG Natural

The growing region of Huehuetenango (pronounced way-way-tenango) is on the border of Mexico and is some of our favorite Central American coffee because of its chocolate and nutty tastes. This one is from a co-op called FECCEG which has a presence across the whole country and helps farmer band together, gets them Fair Trade and Organic certifications, and helps them get their coffee to the global market. 

They process a very small amount of Natural Processed (Sundried) coffee each year, and it's very hard to obtain. Natural processed coffee out of Guatemala is not something you're likely to find very often anyway, but this one makes me wish it was a more common practice. 

You want to roast this bean light, like you would other sundried coffees. The coffee has a lot of fruit flavor, like grape and berries with chocolate and some tangy brightness. It also is excellent as espresso!
