GUATEMALA - Flor de Maiz

Guatemala Flor de Maiz comes from a Maya Ixil cooperative in Villa Hortensia Antigua, founded in 2002 through a land credit program. Members grow coffee alongside corn and vegetables, handpicking ripe cherry and processing it on-farm before delivering parchment to a central warehouse. The cooperative built a school, housing, and a watershed forest reserve to support its community. Flor de Maíz represents both quality coffee and collective resilience—grown at altitude, fully washed, and sun-dried with care by smallholder families working together.

Guatemala Flor de Maiz offers a consistently sweet, juicy cup across roast levels, with a rich body and approachable profile. At lighter roasts, delicate notes of Bosc pear and honeydew melon shine over a base of chocolate and nougat, creating a syrupy and refreshing experience. As the roast deepens to medium, those fruit notes recede, giving way to cocoa, vanilla, and sweet nut tones that round out the cup. Medium-dark and dark roasts bring out candied pecan, brown sugar, and a rich cocoa depth for a bold, satisfying finish.
