Cerro Verde is grown in between those two lots, right around 5000 feet above sea level. The farm has a unique terroir, in a mountainous region of northwest Guatemala just a stones throw from Mexico. The soil is rich in chalky white limestone, which helps moderate soil pH (highly acidic soils can cause complications for plant fertilization). The weather is impacted by warmer winds coming down from Mexico, but that impact is moderated by the heavy use of indigenous shade trees (mostly Inga, a tree common in Central and South America) and preserved land interspersed throughout the farm, serving dual purpose as wildlife corridors/sanctuary and to moderate the climate. - Origin: Huehuetenango, Guatemala - Processing: Washed - Varieties: Catuaí, Caturra - Roast: Light-medium roast - Tasting notes: Almond, Apple, Cacao, Toffee, Juicy - Altitude: 1400–1400 meters - Harvest: 12–3 ## Prices [barismo coffee](http://www.barismo.com/cerro-verde) ## Ratings 0/5 (0) ## Estimated taste profile (0–100) - acidity: 80 - bitterness: 41 - body: 43 - character: 5 - sweetness: 70 ## Similar coffees ### [Valentine Coffee Co\. — Guatemala Huehuetenango](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/valentine-coffee-co/guatemala-huehuetenango) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $7.00 / 4 oz ($61.73/kg) — Available - $98.00 / 5 lbs ($43.21/kg) — Available ### [ASPECT ROASTER — GUATEMALA](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/aspect-roaster/guatemala) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $19.82 / 340 gram ($58.29/kg) — Available - $43.21 / 1000 gram ($43.21/kg) — Available ### [Attica Coffee — Guatemala Huehuetenango](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/attica-coffee/guatemala-huehuetenango) Available - Origin: Guatemala - $12.90 / 250 gram ($51.59/kg) — Available - $43.77 / 1000 gram ($43.77/kg) — Available ### [Rum Baba — Guatemala](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/rum-baba/guatemala) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $11.78 / 250 gram ($47.13/kg) — Available - $37.70 / 1000 gram ($37.70/kg) — Available ### [Aura Bean — Guatemala Single Origin](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/aura-bean/guatemala-single-origin) Available - Origin: Guatemala - $11.27 / 280 gram ($40.24/kg) — Available - $33.49 / 1000 gram ($33.49/kg) — Available ### [Mothership Coffee Roasters — Guatemala Huehuetenango](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/mothership-coffee-roasters/guatemala-huehuetenango) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $23.00 / 12 oz ($67.61/kg) — Available - $110.00 / 5 lbs ($48.50/kg) — Available ### [Incapto Coffee — Sustainably grown Guatemalan coffee beans](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/incapto-coffee/sustainably-grown-guatemalan-coffee-beans) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $8.92 / 100 gram ($89.21/kg) — Available - $52.68 / 1000 gram ($52.68/kg) — Available ### [Peacocks Coffee — Baja Verapaz - Guatemala](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/peacocks-coffee/baja-verapaz-guatemala) Available - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed - $21.32 / 200 gram ($106.60/kg) — Available - $77.42 / 1000 gram ($77.42/kg) — Out of stock ## More from this roaster ### [barismo coffee — Los Andinos](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/los-andinos) Out of stock - Origin: Colombia - Processing: Washed ### [barismo coffee — Xalum Sweet Collection](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/xalum-sweet-collection) Out of stock - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed ### [barismo coffee — Wote Konga](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/wote-konga) Out of stock - Origin: Ethiopia - Processing: Washed, Swiss Water decaf ### [barismo coffee — Tirra Estate](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/tirra-estate) Out of stock - Origin: Costa Rica - Processing: Honey Process ### [barismo coffee — Santa Ana Lot 724](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/santa-ana-lot-724) Out of stock - Origin: Guatemala - Processing: Washed, Sun-dried ### [barismo coffee — Santa Ana](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/santa-ana) No longer available ### [barismo coffee — San Pedro](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/san-pedro) No longer available ### [barismo coffee — Gishubi Hill](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/gishubi-hill) No longer available ## Reviews Ratings: 0/5 (0) No public written reviews yet. - [Coffee](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/cerro-verde.md) - [Similar coffees](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/cerro-verde/similar.md) - [Reviews](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/cerro-verde/reviews.md) - [Release history](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/barismo-coffee/cerro-verde/releases.md)
