Green Fact
Guatemalan Coffees are 98% shade grown.
This allows coffee beans to mature slowly, improving the attributes of body and acidity in the cup.

Rainforest Cobán®
Quite different from Guatemala’s other coffee regions, Cobán is cloudy, rainy and cool all year round, with soil formed from limestone and clay.

Most Rainforest Cobán is cultivated on the region’s distinctive rolling hills, under the tropical influences of the Atlantic Basin. Cobán has two seasons: rainy and rainier. The annual rainfall range is the second highest of the coffee growing regions, with the heaviest rains form May to December. During the rest of the year, Cobán’s celebrated “chipi –chipi” frequently engulfs the region in a fine mist that falls from dense cloud cover.
