Description
GUATEMALA CANDELARIA
Smallholder farmers from the Mam ethnic group, one of Guatemala’s Mayan descendants, grow most of the coffee in the Huehuetenango region, and sun-dry their coffees, giving the beans a beautiful green-blue hue. Producers in Huehue are proud of the quality of their coffee; in many cases, farmers are 3rd or 4th generation coffee growers. Local tradition hasn’t hindered the adoption of technology though producers have quickly embraced the latest agricultural practices to continue to improve their farms. This blend of tradition and technology makes coffee from Huehue unique in Guatemala.
Huehuetenango is is located in the Western Highlands and is one of the most important growing regions in Guatemala. A variety of micro-climates and growing altitudes of up to 2,000 meters ASL produce bright, sweet coffees with a strong body and distinctive fruit flavors.
