Coffee straight from the highlands of Huehuetenango!
Jacinto Ramirez is a fourth-generation coffee grower from Michicoy, San Pedro Necta, Huehuetenango. His farm, part of a family network, lies at 2,000 metres above sea level where warm winds from Mexico meet cool mountain air, creating ideal conditions for slow, even cherry ripening. Coffee is intercropped with chalum trees that provide shade and natural fertiliser through their fallen leaves. Ripe cherries are carefully handpicked, pulped on a drum pulper, and fermented for 30 hours before being washed in clean mountain water. The parchment is sun-dried for up to eight days and rested in Huehuetenango City’s dry climate. The resulting cup is balanced and refined, with juicy mandarin acidity, berry sweetness, and a gentle chocolate finish—an honest, round expression of Guatemala’s mountain terroir.
