Guatemala SHB EP Bicafe - Ecotact

This washed coffee from Guatemala showcases the country’s reputation for producing consistently high-quality coffees with bright acidity, smooth sweetness, and balanced structure. Grown in highland regions with fertile volcanic soil, steady rainfall, and cool temperatures, Guatemalan coffees are known for their refined flavor and clean cup character.

This lot is sourced through BiCafe, a long-established Guatemalan exporter dedicated to connecting smallholder producers with international specialty markets. BiCafe focuses on building long-term relationships with farmers, providing technical assistance, and maintaining strict quality control throughout sourcing and processing. The company’s commitment to traceability, consistency, and fair partnerships has made it one of Guatemala’s most trusted and respected exporters.

This lot is graded SHB (Strictly Hard Bean), meaning it was cultivated at altitudes above 1,300 meters, where cooler temperatures slow cherry maturation and produce denser, higher-quality beans. The EP (European Preparation) designation ensures beans have been carefully sorted by size and defects, resulting in a consistent and clean roast profile.
