Buy Guatemala Coffee That’s Truly Special: A Look at Our Varieties for 2025
Coffee lovers, let's take a journey through the misty highlands of Guatemala, where ancient Mayan traditions meet modern coffee excellence. If you're looking to buy Guatemala coffee that captures the true essence of this remarkable region, you've come to the right place. At Via Guatemala Coffee, we've curated four exceptional varieties that showcase the incredible diversity and quality that makes Guatemalan coffee legendary worldwide.Why Guatemala Produces Some of the World's Best Coffee
Guatemala isn't just another coffee-producing country – it's a coffee paradise. Guatemala's growing regions include the Fraijanes Plateau, Antigua, Highland Huehuetenango, Rainforest Coban, Volcan San Marcos, Nuevo Oriente, and Atitlan, each contributing unique characteristics to the beans grown there. The country's volcanic soil, high altitudes, and perfect microclimates create ideal conditions for producing specialty-grade arabica coffee with complex flavor profiles.
Coffee beans grown in Guatemala typically have tasting notes indicating a full body and a rich chocolatey-cocoa flavor, and a toffee-like sweetness. This foundation of excellence is what makes our Mayan collection so special – each variety builds upon these inherent qualities while offering its own distinct personality.
Meet the Mayan Collection: Four Distinct Coffee Experiences
-
Mayan Jaguar - Dark Roast: For the Bold Coffee Adventurer
Our Mayan Jaguar is perfect for those who crave intensity in their cup. Named after the powerful jaguar – a sacred animal in Mayan culture symbolizing strength, courage, and the night – this dark roast embodies the same bold, commanding presence.
Dark roast for lower acidity, silky body, and deeper, darker flavors, this variety delivers a very pronounced chocolate flavor and hints of roasted nuts, much like the jaguar's stealthy power that emerges from the shadows.
Flavor Profile:
-
Pronounced chocolate notes
-
Hints of roasted nuts
-
Silky, full body
-
Lower acidity for smooth drinking
-
Perfect for espresso or French press
If you love your coffee bold and rich, with those deep, satisfying flavors that linger long after your last sip, Mayan Jaguar is your perfect match.
-
Mayan Warrior - Medium Roast: The Perfect Balance
Mayan Warrior is a blend of 100% Arabica coffee sourced from the rich mountains of Guatemala. Named for the disciplined Mayan warriors who possessed both strength and precision, this coffee delivers warrior energy – the perfect fuel for your daily battles and adventures.
Medium roast for more balanced flavors, aromas, and acidity. This variety represents the sweet spot that many coffee enthusiasts seek – not too light, not too dark, but perfectly balanced, just like the measured approach of a skilled warrior.
What Makes It Special:
-
Aromatic, citric acidity and fruits, delicate body
-
Grown in volcanic soil for enhanced complexity

Ideal for drip and pour-over coffee makers

Mayan Power - Medium Roast: San Marcos Excellence
Genuine specialty coffee from Guatemala's coveted San Marcos area, Mayan Power showcases what happens when exceptional terroir meets expert cultivation. This 100% Arabica coffee is grown in the nutrient-rich soil of the San Marcos Mountains, where the unique microclimate produces beans with remarkable quality.
Regional Distinction:
-
Single-origin San Marcos arabica

Family-owned farms in San Marcos, Guatemala, produce these pure Arabica beans

Mayan Cardamom - Medium Roast: A Spiced Innovation
Here's where tradition meets innovation. Our 98% Guatemalan arabica blend and 2% cardamom delivers aromatic, balanced, chocolatey notes. What makes this truly special is that cardamom – a spice from the ginger family – grows right alongside our coffee plants on the same Guatemalan farms.
This means we can harvest both the coffee cherries and fresh cardamom from the same soil, creating a perfectly harmonious blend that's literally grown together. This unique variety showcases the natural synergy of crops that thrive in Guatemala's rich volcanic soil.
Why It's Unique:
-
98% pure Guatemalan arabica
-
2% cardamom for aromatic complexity
-
Balanced and chocolatey foundation
-
A nod to ancient Mayan spice traditions
Understanding Roast Levels: Why They Matter
When you buy Guatemala coffee, understanding roast levels helps you choose the perfect variety for your taste preferences. Guatemalan beans typically shine at medium to medium-dark roasts. These levels preserve the beans' intrinsic qualities while developing their body and sweetness.
Our Roast Philosophy:
-
Dark Roast (Mayan Jaguar): Develops chocolate and nutty flavors, reduces acidity
-
Medium Roast (Warrior, Power, Cardamom): Balances origin characteristics with developed sweetness
Light to medium roasts bring out bright, fruity qualities, best with manual drippers like Hario V60, Kalita Wave, Blue Bottle Dripper, or Origami Dripper. Dark roasts highlight chocolate and toasted flavors, losing brightness, and are better suited for French Press, Cold Brewing, or Espresso.
