Guatemala - Women of Huehue

More details:

This is a very special lot consisting of coffee grown by 8 amazing women across 5 different villages in Huehuetenango.

The women who contributed to this lot are Minga, Juana, Lety and Victorina, Sandra, Maria, Luz, and Petrona.

Once the coffee is dried, Fredy’s wife cups every lot, and combines similar qualities and profiles together.

The concept of our community lots is to support the producer. Each producer will process their own coffee: hand pulp, use a tank foot remove floaters, ferment for 22-24 hours, move coffee, and bring in the next batch. After fermentation, the coffee is washed and moved to the channels. The time spent here depends on the capacity of each farm/parcel. Most parcels of land benefit from natural spring water. In some cases, the women don't have access to water. In this case, the coffee will be quickly washed in channels.

Once the water runs clear, the coffee is then moved to patios. The coffee dries for 7-10 days during sunny period, or up to 20 during cloudy days.
