Life-time Access – Course & Certification
Welcome to the first in our series of Buyer’s Guides. This course will be published in biweekly updates over the next couple of months. Each We look at the history of coffee production in each country and see how it affects the way coffee is made today. This first course in this series focuses on Guatemala. Guatemala is one of the most populous countries in Central America and the second-largest coffee producer in the region. This course will show you the ways in which Guatemalan producers are innovating to make their coffee tastier, or their farms more sustainable. And we explain what you can expect from growing regions, and plant varieties; from typical flavour profiles and seasonality to grading standards and roasting characteristics.
