An Exceptional Central American Coffee

Huehuetenango is located in Western Guatemala bordering Mexico. It is extremely diverse and known for producing some of the best coffees in Latin America due to its climate, altitude, water sources, and traditional varieties.

This Wuj Kape coffee consists of two varieties: Caturra and Sarchimor. Sourced from 18 smallholder farms, they are located at an elevation range of 1,200–1,600 MASL. Harvesting generally occurs between December and March, with temperatures ranging between 18–26°C and humidity levels of 70–80%. The 1,600mm rain provides sufficient water for the plants while not excessively saturating them.

The team behind this coffee is full of passionate young people that make you feel like family. The indigenous population in and around Huehuetenango play a large role in the coffee production here, and coffee accounts either directly or indirectly for roughly 80 percent of the local economy.
