PARAXAJ – Fully Washed Marseillaise, Acatenango, Guatemala
In the rugged slopes of Acatenango, where the air is thin and the soil is rich with volcanic memory, farmer Herman García Guerrero tends a small plot of Marseillaise trees that thrive at 1550 MASL. This coffee is fully washed, a classic process that brings out clarity and brightness without sacrificing sweetness. Every cherry is picked with care, fermented, and washed to reveal a cup that feels both precise and generous. Paraxaj is the kind of Guatemala coffee that greets you first with sweetness - cane‑like, soft, and inviting - followed by a bright, clean acidity that lifts the fruit. It’s a cup that feels light on its feet but full of flavor, the kind you reach for when you want to be reminded why you love coffee in the first place. There are no distractions here, only the quiet work of a farmer and the honesty of the land. This is Acatenango in liquid form: sweet, bright, and deeply welcoming. Tasting notes: Sweet cane. Bright acidity. Juicy fruit. Clean, rounded finish.
