About Samuel Diaz Garcia of Guatemala
Guatemalan coffee traditionally exhibits high malic acidity, caramel, and clean cups with a ton of sweetness. We see distinctly different cups in each region of Guatemala. Huehuetenangos are typically known for their fruit forward profile that is borderline "naturally" pulpy, and a result of how large volumes of coffee are stacked on the patios.
Samuel Diaz, has worked in coffee following the family business. Four years ago he decided to send samples of his coffee to roasters and independent organizations to prove his quality, that same year he competed of the cup of excellence and got named in the top ten coffee of the Huehuetenango region.

"Wonderfully comforting with nostalgic flavors like graham cracker, dark chocolate and vanilla bean. Excellent with cream and excellent black!"
