Coffee Tonya Guatemala Antigua SHB
Guatemala Antigua SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) coffee beans are highly regarded in the specialty coffee industry for their complex flavor profile and high quality. The Antigua region of Guatemala is located at high altitudes, where the coffee beans are grown in volcanic soil, which provides unique mineral characteristics to the beans.
The SHB classification indicates that the coffee beans were grown at an altitude above 1350 meters (4430 feet) above sea level. Coffee plants grown at higher altitudes mature more slowly, resulting in a denser, harder bean that has a higher concentration of sugars and acids. This slower maturation process also allows the coffee beans to develop more nuanced and complex flavors.
Guatemala Antigua SHB coffee beans are known for their smooth, well-balanced flavor profile, which often includes notes of chocolate, caramel, nuts, and a hint of citrus. They are medium-bodied with a bright acidity and a clean finish. These beans are typically roasted to a medium or medium-dark level to enhance their inherent sweetness and complexity.
