guatemala huehuetenango finca el tesoro bourbon

This lot comes from Finca El Tesoro, a farm in Buenos Aires, Hüixoc, in the municipality of La Democracia in Huehuetenango. Juan Adalberto Villatoro Cruz manages the farm, which sits at about 1,600 meters and covers roughly 22 hectares (200 cuerdas), nearly 90% of it planted in coffee.

The farm has been producing coffee for more than 25 years and turns out about 200 quintals a year. Alongside Bourbon it grows Caturra, Pache Rojo and other Arabica varieties. Cherries are washed after 18 to 24 hours of fermentation, then dried for 3 to 6 days depending on the weather.

Juan's plan is to plant the rest of the farm in coffee and keep improving the quality of the harvest. This lot is 100% Bourbon, fully washed, and certified organic.
