LAS MORITAS / GUATEMALA - "RESERVE SERIES"

Meet Don Jose Higinio Gómez and his wife Aura Libia de Jesús Gómez Garcia, the producers at Las Moritas. They purchased their first plot of land in 1988. Smaller than one hectare, it was all they needed to plant their first bourbon varietals. Over the years, they slowly purchased more parcels of land and grew their farm with the community. Las Moritas is now 70 hectares of land spreading over the mountainous, silty clay. 56 hectares are devoted to many types of coffee varietals. The rest of the land cultivates corn, beans, tomatoes, and peaches.
