The cafes ofGuatemalaThey are considered among the finest in Central America, with a strong typicity linked to the diversity of terroirs, high altitudes and volcanic soils.

The region ofHuehuetenangoIn particular, located in northwestern Guatemala on the border with Mexico, it has a unique microclimate: protection from frost, high altitudes and volcanic or limestone soils.

Nm - Treatment process

When we talk about the coffee processing process, this brings us to post-production: after the coffee cherries have been picked, the cooperative has a choice: leave the cherry pulp or remove it before drying.

On this coffee, the process"washed"involves the cherries being mechanically pulped and then fermented in water for 48 to 72 hours before removing the remaining skin.

The grains are then placed on drying beds for 7 to 8 days to reach a humidity level of between 10 and 12%.
