Eight Guatemalan coffee regions, origin chocolate and four guided tasting experiences.
Each Qubal presentation is a guided coffee-and-chocolate tasting built around two regional Guatemalan coffees and the same two chocolate expressions.
Every collection contains the coffees, chocolates and guide needed to compare aroma, sweetness, acidity, body, fruit and cacao through a simple tasting ritual.
Each collection pairs two distinct Guatemalan coffee regions with milk chocolate and Kampura 70% dark chocolate, supported by its own tasting guide.
Antigua’s elegant sweetness meets milk chocolate, while San Marcos’s caramel sweetness and floral aromatics deepen with 70% dark chocolate.
Atitlán’s bright acidity and citrus and stone-fruit notes meet 70% dark chocolate, while Nuevo Oriente’s full body and chocolaty character pair with milk chocolate.
Cobán’s fresh fruit notes find depth in 70% dark chocolate, while Fraijanes’s clean citrus and caramel profile blends smoothly with milk chocolate.
Huehuetenango’s winey notes and vibrant acidity pair with milk chocolate, while Acatenango’s bold body and acidity pair with 70% dark chocolate.
Each explores a different side of Guatemala. Start with the flavor profile that sounds most like you.

Guatemala’s eight coffee regions are not arbitrary marketing divisions. Anacafé formalized them to identify recurring cup profiles created by the country’s unusually varied geography: mountain ranges, active volcanoes, crater lakes, two oceans, different soil types, altitude and rainfall patterns. Together these conditions create more than 300 microclimates, which change how coffee cherries mature and how sweetness, acidity, aroma and body develop in the cup.
At higher elevations, cooler temperatures generally slow cherry maturation, giving the seed more time to develop dense sugars and aromatic precursors. Volcanic and mineral-rich soils, rainfall, cloud cover, humidity, wind and shade then interact differently from region to region. Anacafé’s regionalization strategy, introduced in the 1990s, grouped these recurring environmental and sensory differences into eight recognized Guatemalan coffee origins.

Every collection uses the same two chocolate styles as a controlled pairing framework: milk chocolate for a softer, sweeter expression and Kampura 70% dark chocolate for deeper cacao structure, fruit and complexity.
The milk chocolate is paired with one coffee in each collection to create a gentler contrast and make sweetness, texture and aromatic shifts easy to notice.
Kampura brings a darker cacao structure and fruit-driven complexity to the second coffee in every collection, allowing the pairing to emphasize acidity, fruit, roast, cacao and finish.
