Description
Huehuetenango is one of Guatemala’s most remote, mountainous coffee regions, dotted with rivers that let farmers pulp, ferment and dry at the farm itself before the parchment travels to Lux Café’s dry‑mill near Guatemala City for final grading. The result is traceable micro‑lots from Santa Barbara, San Pedro Néctar, San Juan Atitán, Todos Los Santos Cuchumatanes and La Libertad – each adding layers of complexity. Roasted fresh in Northumberland, keeping theroast profile medium to let those stone‑fruit and chocolate notes shine while preserving the region’s lively acidity.

Most of our coffees are suitable for all brew methods. Some will shine more brewed certain ways but that is ultimatley down to your own personal preference. However you chose to brew your coffee always make sure your using fresh beans, weigh the amount of coffee your using, time your brew and weigh the yield of your coffee.
A guide for home double espresso could be to use 18.5g of coffee, and extract in 25-30 seconds for a yield of 35-40ml.
A guide for home filter coffee could be to use 19g of coffee, brewed in 3-4 minutes with a yield of 250ml of water.
Once you have these or any other starting point you can then experiment and adjust your recipe to acheive the taaste you want. For example, for a slightly strong cup use more coffee or try a lower yield amount.
