Monte Clara comes from the Nuevo Oriente region in the far eastern part of Guatemala, along the Honduras and El Salvador border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNuevo Oriente is a relatively new coffee-growing region, only beginning cultivation in the 1950s. The region's volcanoes are inactive, but the remnants of previous eruptions have created rich volcanic soils perfect for coffee production. Coffee here grows between 1,200 and 1,600 meters, and the weather is cloudy and rainy — a challenge at harvest time, as drying takes longer in higher humidity. Depending on conditions, harvests are dried either on patios or in guardiolas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the humidity, the slower-growing coffee of Nuevo Oriente is practically bursting with flavor. This lot comes from a multitude of smallholder farms in Oriente, many of whom have farmed the same land for generations. Like many farmers in Guatemala, most have their own wet mill, so they control quality all the way from harvest through processing and drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrip, French press, or espresso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent with milk — the chocolate notes carry through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn everyday cup that doesn't get thin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhole bean • Grind fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:16 ratio • Medium grind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrench Press:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:15 ratio • Coarse grind • 4-minute steep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEspresso:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 g in • 36–40 g out • 25–30s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoast Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nuevo Oriente, Guatemala\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole Bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBag Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10oz (280g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens:\u003c\/strong\u003e None – SPOKIN-verified allergen-free, mold-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Specialty Arabica Coffee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLearn More\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/clean-coffee-insights\/best-coffee-for-acid-reflux-and-gerd-a-doctor-backed-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Read our doctor-backed guide to choosing coffee with acid reflux or GERD\"\u003eBest Coffee for Acid Reflux and GERD – A Doctor-Backed Guide\u003c\/a\u003e — what to look for in a coffee when heartburn is a problem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/clean-coffee-insights\/why-pangea-low-acid-coffee-is-more-digestion-friendly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"How low acid coffee affects digestion and stomach comfort\"\u003eWhy Low Acid Coffee May Be the Key to a Happier Stomach\u003c\/a\u003e — how roast profile changes what your stomach feels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/clean-coffee-insights\/cross-contamination-concerns-choose-pangea-coffee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Why allergen cross-contamination matters in coffee roasting\"\u003eWhy Everyone Should Be Concerned About Cross Contamination\u003c\/a\u003e — what an allergen-free roastery actually means.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSubscriptions \u0026amp; Bundles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSave on every bag with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/subscription\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Start a Pangea Coffee subscription and save on every delivery\"\u003ePangea Coffee subscription\u003c\/a\u003e, or try several roasts at once with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flavor-discovery-pack-organic-pangea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Try three Pangea roasts in one Flavor Discovery Pack\"\u003eFlavor Discovery Pack\u003c\/a\u003e.
