Elevated Sips - GUATEMALA GROUND ORGANIC COFFEE - Farmer?s Choice 2Pack Premium Quality Ground Coffee from SWAN LIFE ESSENTIALS GUATEMALAN COFFEE HISTORY: The history of coffee farming in Guatemala began around the 1850's. Even with ideal weather conditions and rich, volcanic soil, Guatemala's industry was slow to begin. Lacking experience and knowledge, the pioneers of coffee in Guatemala struggled to find enough workers to help them cultivate the crops. WHAT IS GUATEMALAN COFFEE? Coffee in Guatemala is grown at an altitude of over 5,000 feet, which explains its robust and distinctive flavor. Guatemala's unique growing region, with a mild subtropical climate, combined with nutrient-rich volcanic soil, create an ideal environment for growing some of the most delicious coffee beans. ABOUT COFFEE: Caffeine is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about coffee. But coffee also contains antioxidants and other active substances that may reduce internal inflammation. Coffee is a beverage brewed from the roasted and ground seeds of the tropical evergreen coffee plant. Coffee is one of the three most popular beverages in the world (alongside water and tea), and it is one of the most profitable international commodities. WHAT MAKES GUATEMALAN COFFEE SPECIAL? Guatemalan coffee is revered thanks to a well-developed coffee industry, deep roots of quality growing practices, a high altitude for growing (on average), and fertile soil affected by volcanoes in the region. Combined, this climate and soil quality make for great beans available in a wide variety of flavor profiles. OUR ORGANIC GUATEMALAN COFFEE: Organic farmers use a safer, less toxic way of growing coffee. Organic coffee has more micronutrients than regular coffee like magnesium, potassium, niacin, B vitamins, and minerals. Organic farmers practice fair trade standards and this means they practice sustainability and practice environmental safety. IS A DARK ROAST COFFEE STRONGER? Some coffee drinkers think dark roasts are stronger and have more caffeine kick than light roasts. The truth, however, is that caffeine content remains pretty much the same during each stage of the roasting process. The difference between roasts is taste, not the amount of caffeine. WHAT DOES ACIDIC COFFEE TASTE LIKE? Overly acidic coffee tastes sour and harsh. This happens when coffee is over-roasted or incorrectly brewed. This is why specialty coffee professionals aim to roast and brew coffees with acidity that highlights and compliments the natural flavor of the beans.
