The Story
Colores coffee is a medium roast, harvested and roasted at La Soledad farms, in Antigua. The city of Antigua, founded in 1524, is located in a valley surrounded by volcanoes in the Sacatepequez department of Guatemala. Although the city is well known for its well preserved Spanish Baroque influenced architecture, Antigua is world-renowned for pioneering coffee harvesting and roasting techniques that emphasize quality over quantity.
Rich volcanic soil, low humidity, lots of sun, and cool nights characterize the Antigua Coffee region. This valley is surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango. Every once in a while, Fuego—one of Guatemala’s three active volcanoes—adds a fresh dusting of mineral-rich ash to Antigua’s soil. Volcanic pumice in the soil retains moisture, which helps offset Antigua’s low rainfall. In Antigua, shade is especially dense to protect the coffee plants from the region’s occasional frost. At La Soledad the sun shines as brightly as the colors across Antigua city, home to the blissful essence of Colores coffee.
The perfect morning cup!
The perfect complement for your morning breakfast! This is the roast and favor you want to drink as you are looking at the sunrise and embracing its beauty.
United StatesI can now drink coffee without adding anything!!
This is the very first time I prefer my coffee black! The complex taste of Tuguava’s coffee has given me a new perspective on what quality coffee tastes like. I am SOLD!
United StatesYum!
Really full flavor for a medium-blend coffee. Shipping was quick and beans were very fresh.
United StatesSO TASTY!
Just like good wines, coffees have differences in their taste due to the land/region/environment in which they are grown. With Tuguava, I swear you can taste the difference of it being grown at elevation! It is so smooth, the perfect amount of acidity, and really flavorful while also delicate. We will definitely be buying again!
United StatesDelicious and Fresh
I recently came across this coffee and it is now apart of my regular rotation. The beans are incredibly fresh and the coffee taste different than anything I can find in a store. I find the unique and aromatic flavors to be a great change of pace, and an even better way to kickstart my day.
