Guatemala Antigua Terroir

Guatemala Antigua is widely considered the country's finest growing region, largely because of its cultivation environment. Sitting at high altitude and ringed by three volcanoes, it is protected from the sea winds and heavy lake-region humidity that affect other areas. This distinctive micro-geography shapes Antigua's signature flavor. In altitude, soil, and climate alike, the conditions are exceptionally suited to coffee. Its mature berry-like aroma unfolds into a lychee-like fruit fragrance, and the sweet-sour entry is truly memorable.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

FrontStreet Guodingding Cooperative Yirgacheffe is the classic washed Ethiopian: sweet white-flower aroma close to fresh jasmine, bright citrus acidity, and a green-tea finish—equally charming as a pour-over or a cold brew that drinks like fruit tea. FrontStreet Natural Huakui, dried as whole-ripe cherries, brings creamy strawberry sweetness over light orange blossom with juicy guava and mango. And FrontStreet Strawberry Candy Geisha Blend marries Costa Rican honey processing with washed Panama Geisha for raisin, orange, ripe blueberry, and rose notes with a whisper of almond—rich enough for espresso, delicate enough for filter.
