Antigua is one of the most respected coffee regions in the world—and for good reason.

What makes it special:

  • Volcanic soil rich in nutrients
  • High elevations (1,200–1,616m) for slow bean development
  • Stable climate that enhances consistency and quality

These conditions create coffee that is:

  • More complex
  • More balanced
  • More expressive in the cup

🔬 Clean Coffee You Can Trust

Not all coffee is created equal.

Aurora Maya is built with both flavor and quality in mind:

  • ✅ Third-party tested
  • ✅ Mycotoxin-free
  • ✅ Mold and yeast-free
  • ✅ Heavy metal tested

This means every cup is not just delicious—it’s clean, dependable, and consistent.


💧 Washed + Sun-Dried: Why Processing Matters

Aurora Maya uses a fully washed process, followed by sun drying.

Here’s why that matters:

Washed Process:

  • Enhances clarity and structure
  • Highlights true flavor of the bean

Sun Drying:

  • Preserves natural sweetness
  • Maintains vibrant character

Together, they create a cup that is:

👉 Clean and defined
👉 Smooth but expressive
👉 Balanced with natural sweetness


đŸŒ± The Varietals Behind Aurora Maya

This isn’t a one-note coffee.

Aurora Maya is crafted from a blend of classic Guatemalan varietals:

  • Bourbon – Sweet and complex
  • Catuai – Balanced and smooth
  • Caturra – Bright and lively
  • Typica – Clean and refined

This combination creates a layered, nuanced cup that still feels approachable.
