Coffee Bio
This microlot comes from the high mountain landscapes of Tectitán, Huehuetenango, grown close to 1,900 masl. Steep terrain and cool micro-climates create ideal conditions for dense beans and clean, expressive cups. Coffee has not always been the dominant crop in Tectitán, which gives the area a unique opportunity to build its identity in specialty coffee.
The lot comes from a very small farm of just 0.52 hectares, where the producer manages every detail. The coffee is fully washed at the farm's own wet mill and dried with close attention to uniformity. Agronomic practices include block pruning, controlled shade at 3.5–4 meters and renewal cycles adapted to the plants' condition.
The latest harvest yielded 5 quintals of cherry to 1 quintal of dry parchment, with productivity of 12.82 quintals per hectare: small in scale, but revealing the true potential of Tectitán's highland terroir.
