Guatemala Huehuetenango
This single-origin was born in the community of La Libertad, in Huehuetenango, in the foggy mountains near the Mexican border, in Finca El Puente owned by the Vides family, which has been producing coffee since 1958; Jorge represents the third generation. Here on 26 hectares of reddish, clay-rich soil of steep and very fertile terrain due to the volcanic nature of the area, he planted different varieties to enrich the beans organoleptically. The altitude and cool, humid climate with considerable diurnal temperature fluctuations give it a hard texture, fine, persistent acidity and a rich, structured aroma. Grade 1 lots, such as this one, are of a higher grade and are in limited supply: after harvesting, they are washed and fermented for at least 36 hours to ensure the correct development of acidity. Then the coffee is drained and dried naturally in the sun on concrete patios. In the cup, the result is a coffee with a compact, viscous body and a rich, complex aroma with nuances and an aftertaste.
