Antigua Volcanic Valley — Guatemala Origin

Three Volcanoes. One Perfect Valley.

Nestled in the volcanic valleys surrounding historic Antigua, The Three Sisters micro-lots are sheltered by Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango — three towering peaks that have blanketed the surrounding soil in mineral-rich volcanic ash for centuries. At 1,650 metres above sea level, hand-selected Caturra, Bourbon, and Typica varieties thrive in one of Central America's most celebrated and storied coffee-growing regions.

Expert Tip


Light-to-medium roasts are denser and require precise extraction techniques to reach their full potential. We recommend using a high water temperature between 93°C and 96°C (just off the boil) to fully dissolve the complex sugars. For pour-over methods (like a V60 or Chemex), utilize a 1:16 brewing ratio (e.g., 15g of coffee to 240g of water) and grind slightly finer than normal. This prevents under-extraction and balances the bright blackberry acidity with the underlying chocolate sweetness.

Caffeine & Your Heart

This product is made of 100% single-origin Arabica coffee from the Caturra, Bourbon, and Typica varietals. This natural composition provides a smooth, sustained caffeine release. On average, specialty Arabica contains approximately 1.2% to 1.5% caffeine by weight, which is nearly half the caffeine concentration found in commercial-grade Robusta beans.

This lower concentration ensures a cleaner energy curve, minimizing the sudden spikes, heart jitters, and crashes often associated with lower-quality blends.For more information on managing your daily intake or to evaluate how different caffeinated beverages interact with cardiovascular wellness, you can explore the British Heart Foundation Caffeine Guidance to check your personal limits.

Origin


Sourced from the world-renowned growing region of Antigua, Guatemala, a valley steeped in coffee heritage since the 1850s. Cultivated at a precise altitude of 1,650 metres above sea level (MASL), these plants thrive in a microclimate completely enclosed by three majestic volcanic peaks: Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango. Regular eruptions from the active Volcán de Fuego continuously enrich the soil with dense mineral ash.

This nutrient-dense ground chemistry is directly responsible for the exceptional sweetness and deep chocolatey characteristics found in the cup.

Storage & Freshness


To protect the delicate, volatile aromatic oils of your beans, store this package in a cool, dark pantry or cupboard away from direct sunlight, ovens, and appliances. Our bags are equipped with a one-way degassing valve to let naturally occurring carbon dioxide escape while keeping oxygen out. Keep the bag tightly sealed via the integrated zipper lock.

Never store your coffee in a refrigerator or freezer, as the shifting temperatures create internal condensation that dampens and dulls the fresh blackberry aroma.

Cost Per Cup

Here is the fully expanded, highly detailed text for your Cost Per Cup collapsible row, incorporating the step-by-step brew calculation alongside high-street value comparisons to maximize conversion rates.

🏷️ Cost Per Cup

Bringing the premium café experience into your home kitchen offers staggering financial savings without compromising on bean quality, transparency, or flavor. We calculate our cost per cup using the standard specialty coffee brewing ratio of 15 grams of coffee grounds per 250ml cup (a standard mug).

📊 How the Math Breaks Down:

  • From our 250g Bag (£18.99):
    A standard 250g bag yields approximately 16 individual cups of coffee. When you divide the retail package price by the total output, your cost breaks down to just £1.14 per cup.
  • From our 1kg Bulk Bag (£39.99):
    Upgrading to our 1kg size yields approximately 66 individual cups of coffee. By choosing the bulk option, you drastically reduce your packaging footprint and bring your final cost down to a remarkable £0.60 per cup.

☕ High Street vs. Home Brewing:

The average price for a standard milk or espresso-based beverage across major UK coffee chains (such as Costa Coffee or Starbucks UK) ranges between £3.85 and £4.60. [1, 2, 3] By switching to The Three Sisters at home, you save up to £4.00 per drink. Over the course of a single month, enjoying just one cup of our volcanic Guatemala Antigua a day puts up to £120 back in your pocket while giving you complete control over your grind, water temperature, and final flavor extraction.
