Where is Jalapa?

Jalapa sits high in the southeastern highlands of Guatemala, a volcanic mountain region with cool breezes and rich mineral soil that quietly produces some of the country’s best coffee. Farms here sit at high altitude, where slower cherry maturation creates sweeter, denser, more complex beans. Pine and banana trees provide natural shade, letting the coffee develop evenly while preserving the region’s biodiversity. Because Jalapa is remote and less industrial than Guatemala’s major coffee zones, its harvests are smaller, purer, and intensely terroir-driven: each batch reflects the land’s altitude, soil, and microclimate. The result is coffee with cleaner flavour, deeper sweetness, brighter aromatics, and a naturally smooth finish.
