Guatemala SHB EP Varietal showcases the exceptional quality that has made Guatemala the world’s 10th-largest coffee producer and a favorite destination for nearly half of America’s coffee imports. This premium coffee combines the SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) designation with EP (European Preparation) standards to deliver an outstanding cup experience.

The coffee opens with bright, fruity orange notes that give way to smooth milk chocolate and sweet maple flavors. Grown above 1,350 meters in Guatemala’s volcanic highlands, the beans develop slowly in ideal conditions – nutrient-rich volcanic soil, consistent temperatures, and generous rainfall create the perfect environment for complex flavor development. The hand-sorting process ensures every defective bean is removed, guaranteeing exceptional quality.

Guatemala’s eight distinct growing regions each offer unique terroir, from the famous Antigua to the highlands of Huehuetenango. This varietal represents the best of what Guatemalan coffee has to offer – bright acidity balanced by chocolate sweetness, all grown in some of the world’s most ideal coffee-growing conditions. At Cups, we’ve been sourcing premium Guatemalan coffees since 1994, and this SHB EP varietal demonstrates why Guatemala remains one of our most trusted and beloved origins.

Tanzania Peaberry Zanzibar https://cupsespressocafe.com/product/tanzania-peaberry-zanzibar/ Tue, 29 Jul 2025 19:24:45 +0000 https://cupsespressocafe.com/?post_type=product&p=223397 Tanzania Peaberry Zanzibar represents the finest coffee from across Tanzania’s most celebrated high-altitude estates. This premium blend combines beans from both Southern Tanzania’s highlands in Mbozi and Mbeya, and Northern Tanzania’s historic estates near Mount Kilimanjaro and the Ngorongoro crater.

The cup delivers rich caramel sweetness with bright stone fruit and chocolate notes, complemented by nutty undertones and hints of green tea. The citric acidity provides brightness while maintaining a juicy body that makes each sip satisfying. Peaberry beans, which develop as single rounded beans instead of the typical split bean, are prized for their concentrated flavors and uniform roasting characteristics.

These beans come from estates with remarkable histories – from Count Davico’s 1931 Mondul Estate on the mountain slopes to the German-established Burka Estate dating back to 1899. Each estate contributes unique characteristics shaped by Tanzania’s diverse terroir, from volcanic soils to highland forests. At Cups, we’ve been sourcing exceptional East African coffees since 1994, and this Tanzanian blend showcases the complexity and quality that make African coffees so distinctive and sought-after.

Named “Ayabas” after the Yoruba word for goddesses, this coffee honors the cultural heritage brought to Brazil while delivering outstanding flavor in every cup.

This fully traceable coffee features rich dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter notes balanced by bright red fruit and subtle caramel sweetness. The light roast preserves the bean’s natural characteristics, creating a bright, creamy body with gentle citric acidity that makes it approachable for any coffee drinker.

What makes Ayabas special is its complete traceability through Brazil’s first Designation of Origin program. Every bag includes details about the specific farms where it was grown, from Fazenda Santa Luzia’s high-altitude terroir to Guima Estate’s environmentally focused practices. This transparency ensures consistent quality and supports the dedicated producers who craft this exceptional coffee.

Sumatra Mandheling https://cupsespressocafe.com/product/sumatra-mandheling/ Fri, 25 Mar 2022 16:52:00 +0000 https://cupsespressocafe.com/?post_type=product&p=216501 Sumatra Mandheling comes from the volcanic slopes of Mount Leuser near the port of Padang in the Batak region of West-Central Sumatra. This exceptional single origin grows in what’s considered one of the most ancient and biodiverse ecosystems on the planet, and that unique terroir comes through in every cup.

The coffee delivers clean, earthy flavors with distinctive spicy chocolate notes that showcase Sumatra’s characteristic profile. The giling basah (wet hulled) processing method, followed by sun-drying, creates the full body and low acidity that Sumatran coffees are known for. Grown primarily from Catimor and Typica varieties, this coffee represents the best of what this legendary coffee region has to offer.

Our medium roast brings out the coffee’s natural earthiness while preserving the clean finish and spicy chocolate complexity.
