Giant Kites at Sumpango


This is one of our most colorful traditions held the Day of The Dead in November 30th at the town of Sumpango, 60 km west Guatemala City. They fly their kites as a way to get in touch with their deads and to scary the bad spirits, a similar show is also held in the near town of Santiago Sacatepequez. The bigger kites are only for show, they can't fly due to their large dimensions.

Why I Prefer French Press Coffee


Since coffee can be prepared in several ways, is a matter of preferences wich way you like the most. For me coffee is a social drink, the one you share with the ones you care (or in complete solitude) with enough time to relax, so thinking this way you need plenty of coffee (not an ounce). French press coffee maker let you customize your coffee to please your taste and also gives a good show for a few dollars, that make it my favorite for my everyday spare time.

New P11 Formula


We are introducing a new blend formula for our P11 coffees. It features a more acidic touch typical of SHB washed coffee, an excellent body full of complex flavors from citrus to chocolate among others, a delicious aroma in a cup that you will want to share this season. We slightly darken our Café and Obscuro roasts achieving more strength for those who like this feature and -following our tradition- this blend is a complete new one. Enjoy it.

Lake Coatepeque (Outer Rim)












Following past adventures this one was through a more long and steeped way, 3 1/2 hours of pedaling, sights seen, technical and shooting stops. The outer rim of the Lake Coatepeque (El Salvador) offers nice vistas in a mostly paved route, also you can see the inner rim road, cafetales (coffee trees) and coffee storage buildings along the road since these volcanic mid highlands are good to cultivate coffee. Photo numbers are from top to bottom, see also Lake Coatepeque Inner Rim
