Americas, Guatemala, Huehuetenango
2008
The Coffee... The most recent harvest lot of the Recinos family’s traditional, heirloom coffee sings with crisp apple, citrus, gently savory undertones, and a sweet vanilla finish. Even more intensely floral and complex than in previous years, this is an all-time Central American great!
The Farm... Tucked into a valley between two mountains, the farmhouse sits on a parcel of fairly flat land, near a beautiful stream and rolling pastures. Behind the ranch house, however, is the coffee farm, which soars nearly straight up towards the peak of the mountain. The effect is of a gigantic amphitheater, soaring above the valley floor below. This geography is great for coffee quality, since higher altitudes almost always mean better coffee.
The Region... Huehuetenango is in the far northwest of Guatemala on the border with Chiapas in Mexico. It takes 10 hours to get there from Guatemala City. It is very mountainous with arid and hot valleys and towering peaks. Indigenous culture is still very strong in this part of the Guatemalan altiplano.
