Guatemala Antigua by Coffee Beautiful
Guatemala has been cultivating coffee since the 1850s and is now one of the foremost coffee producers in Central America. Coffees from Guatemala are amazing and this single origin from Antigua is one of our favourites here at Coffee Beautiful.
Our Guatemalan coffee beans travel to us all the way from the plantations in the volcanic valleys surrounding Antigua. The growing coffee is surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Fuego and Acatenango. The plantations have rich volcanic soil, sunny weather, low humidity, cool nights and excellent growing conditions at an altitude of 1650 metres, making Antigua the perfect location to cultivate beautiful coffee.
The separate varieties are Caturra, Bourbon and also Typica.
This coffee is chocolatey and sweet with a beautiful body. There are notes of blackberries punctuated with floral musings in the aroma. Simply delicious.
Frequently asked questions
How fresh is your coffee?
All our coffee is roasted in small batches here in the UK and dispatched fresh, so it reaches you in peak condition. For the best flavour, enjoy your beans within a few weeks of opening and keep them somewhere cool and dark.
How should I store my coffee?
Keep your coffee in an airtight container somewhere cool, dark and dry, away from heat and moisture. Avoid the fridge or freezer once the bag is opened, as condensation dulls the flavour. Whole beans stay fresher for longer than pre-ground.
Which grind should I choose?
Match the grind to how you brew: Whole Beans if you grind fresh at home; Espresso/Moka Pot for a fine grind; Filter/AeroPress for medium; French Press/Clever Dripper for coarse; Pods; or Cold Brew for a coarse grind. If in doubt, Whole Beans give you the most flavour and flexibility.
Which coffees suit espresso, and which suit pour-over?
Our blends are built for high-pressure brewing — espresso machines, Moka pots and AeroPress — where their body and sweetness shine. Our single origins are lighter and more aromatic, and are at their best in gravity brewers like the V60, Chemex and filter. Many coffees work well across both, so feel free to experiment.
Do you offer decaf?
Yes — our decaf coffees are decaffeinated using chemical-free water processes (Swiss Water and Mountain Water), which remove the caffeine while keeping the flavour, so you get a full-bodied cup with none of the buzz.
When will my coffee arrive?
Next-day UK delivery is £2.95, and free on coffee orders over £30. Order by 2pm and we'll dispatch the same working day. Every order is tracked, with a tracking number sent to you.
