This month, we visit the Americas. Specifically, Guatemala. Guatemala has a rich history in coffee, and have been growing and exporting coffee since the 1800s. Some of the main coffee producing regions in Guatemala are San Marcos, Acatenango, Atitlán, Huehuetenango, and the well-known Antigua region.

However, coffee production has fallen in recent years as farmers moved into macadamia nuts and avocados. Regardless of that, the quality of Guatemalan coffee has not declined, and remains one of the best in the world that is well-known for its complex taste.

The famous Antigua region has many factors that allows it to produce some of the most extraordinary coffee from the country - Rich, volcanic soil, low humidity as well as plenty of sun and cool nights, all working together to produce high quality and sweet coffee cherries! Expect a cup of coffee with a full body, and really strong dark chocolate and nutty notes! 

As our #dYScover beans are roasted specially, and separately from the rest of our offerings, we only have limited quantities per month! If you have ever thought or wondered about specialty coffee from Guatemala, do make sure you give this a try soon!

There are so many different types of coffee grown in various regions of the world, with each region tasting very distinct from one another. 

#dYScover, by Yong Seng Coffee, is our attempt at letting you experience high quality/specialty coffee from the various coffee-producing regions of the world. Read more about specialty coffee here!

Join us on this journey as we bring in coffee from different regions every month, as we explore the world of coffee together.

A taste of heritage

and fresh perspectives

Yong Seng Coffee specialises in Singapore's favourite - traditional Nanyang coffee, a.k.a. kopi (meaning coffee in Malay). Being the lifeblood of many Singaporeans, we have served our many blends of traditional kopi for over 40 years, in addition to a selection of dry-roasted coffee of various origins.

Today, embodying heritage with every bag, we strive to keep our family's legacy and Singapore's kopi culture alive, while continuously working to expand and refine our offerings to cater to your ever-evolving preferences.

Testimonials

Tried the Arabica Blend and it changed my perspective of white coffee. Ditch your 3-in-1 and brew your own coffee with Yong Seng this CB period.

I ordered all the 6 choices (of Drip Bag Coffee) to try. Arrived yesterday and tried the Signature Blend #1 this morning. Clear indication of roasted & packing dates on each packet. Fresh and full of aroma, highly recommended. Tks!
