What does SHB mean?

The term Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) refers to coffee beans that have been grown at an altitude above 1350 meters. This altitude is considered optimal for growing coffee, as there are favorable climatic conditions for the growth of the coffee plant, such as constant temperatures, sufficient rainfall and good soil quality.

Coffee beans that are grown at this altitude have a denser and harder texture because they have to overcome more resistance to reach the water and nutrients they need to grow. This harder surface of the beans leads to a slower and more even process of ripening and flavor development, resulting in coffee with a smoother taste and aroma.

  The use of the term SHB serves as a mark of quality for coffee from Guatemala and other countries that specialize in growing coffee at altitude.
