Guatemala El Pacayal

TASTING NOTES MILK CHOCOLATE | ALMOND | TART CHERRY El Pacayal can be found in San Miguel Pochuta, Chimaltegango, Guatemala. The farm benefits from the rich volcanic soils produced by the nearby volcanoes - Atitlan, Fuego, and Acatenango. The land is comprised of 950 hectares of coffee along the South Coast Highlands of Guatemala with an additional 600 hectares of private natural reserve. The coffee is grown at an altitude ranging from 1,050-1,600 meters above sea level. The sub-tropical climate in this region, influenced by the Atitlan Crater Lake and the Pacific Ocean, provides an average temperature of 24° C (75° F). The altitude and climate create an ideal environment for growing excellent quality specialty coffee.  Caravan's purchase of this coffee contributes five cents per pound to support the Guatemala Children's Burn Foundation.
