Why is Huehuetenango so special?
Huehuetenango is considered one of Guatemala's most prestigious coffee-growing regions. Coffee trees grow at high elevations where cooler temperatures slow the ripening process, allowing the cherries to accumulate more sugars and develop greater aromatic complexity.
The region's unique microclimate produces coffees appreciated worldwide for their clean profile, refined acidity and exceptional balance.

BLACK SHEEP's espresso roast enhances the coffee's natural sweetness while developing creamy milk chocolate notes, preserving the bright citrus character and delicate floral aromas typical of Huehuetenango coffees.
