Guatemala Ave del Paraíso
El Progreso, Jalapa & Palencia | Guatemala
Bright, sweet, and beautifully balanced, Guatemala Ave del Paraíso is a classic Guatemalan coffee with a little extra character. This fully washed coffee brings together coffees from smallholder producers across Guatemala’s central highlands, creating a cup with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, orange, and subtle florals, followed by a rich sweetness and smooth cocoa finish.
Named for Guatemala’s vibrant Bird of Paradise flower, Ave del Paraíso reflects the color and character of its namesake while staying grounded in the familiar comfort of a great Guatemalan coffee. It’s approachable, layered, and wonderfully satisfying from the first sip through the finish.
THE STORY
Ave del Paraíso comes from a network of smallholder producers in El Progreso, Jalapa, and Palencia, where fertile volcanic soils, varied elevations, and diverse microclimates create ideal conditions for growing specialty coffee.
Ripe coffee cherries are selectively harvested before being processed using the traditional fully washed method. This process helps preserve the coffee’s clarity, sweetness, and vibrant acidity while allowing the chocolate and citrus notes to shine.
The coffees are carefully selected and combined as part of the StoneX Specialty Coffee Flower Series, creating a dependable profile that showcases the classic character of Guatemala while offering consistency from harvest to harvest.
