Product Information

Guatemalan coffee beans are known for their rich flavour profiles, and el Fogon (translated as 'the fire') delivers delightful indicative flavours of vanilla and cocoa. The lighter body makes the sweetness of this chocolatey, sweet arabica work well across a variety of brewing methods, and this Guatemala el Fogon coffee is so popular that we use it in three of our five blends. These beans also hold a special place in our roastery. El Fogon is the first coffee our roaster Ollie ever tried, right from when he started helping out at the home roastery after school, and while all Guatemalan coffees taste great, we think this one is exceptional. It's as fun to roast as it is to drink. The growing conditions of Guatemala are ideal for gourmet Central American coffee, and beans have been cultivated there for centuries. Coffee arrived in Guatemala from the Caribbean around 1700, with local cultivation beginning shortly after, though commercial export of Guatemalan coffee did not begin until the mid 1800s. If you're looking for the best Guatemalan coffee beans in the UK, el Fogon is a superb place to start.
