Guatemala Huixoc Mundo Novo

<p>Finca Buenos Aires Huixoc was established in 1977 and is located on a lovely mountain slope in Huixoc close to the village of La Democracia in the highly valued Huehuetenango region. Since 2006 the finca is owned by the charming Doña Lety Perez. Her son in law Héctor Ovalle manages this farm with dedication and a lot of support from his wife Diana Lucia Diaz. Over the last years many renovations of the plantation have been executed and the wet-mill was upgraded with e.g. raised beds and smaller fermentation tanks. One of the renovations was this introduction of this Mundo Novo variety 4 years ago. These investments together with the devotion to improve quality and being able to produce excellent specialty coffee sounds very promising. </p> <p><strong>LOT DESCRIPTION:</strong></p> <p>This specific micro-lot (10 bags of 69kg) was grown at a spot called ‘Chuj’. 4 years ago the Mundo Novo variety was planted (for the first time) at BA Huixoc.

The coffee was fermented for 36 hours and dried on raised beds for 11 days. </p> <p><strong>REGION:</strong> HUEHUETENANGO</p> <p><strong>LOT:</strong> ‘LA PARCELLA - MUNDO NOVO WASHED’ MICRO-LOT (SHB - EP) (from the ‘Chuj’ spot at the farm)</p> <p><strong>HARVEST PERIOD:</strong> January - March 2020</p> <p><strong>PACKAGING TYPE &amp; SIZE:</strong> 30kg BOX WITH 2 VACUUM BAGS (2 x 15kg)</p> <p></p>

Nicaragua Finca Mama Mina

<p>Nicaragua is a rather new country within specialty coffee. Political, economic and also environmental (e.g. hurricanes) disturbances and instabilities kept the country from moving into the specialty market any quicker. The pioneering work of some families, like the Mierisch family, with a clear vision on producing quality coffee supported by e.g. the Cup of Excellence annual competition created the necessary awareness for growing specialty coffee among Nicaraguan coffee farmers.</p> <p>The Mierisch family owns a couple of excellent farms in the Matagalpa and Jinotega departments and runs their own dry-mill ‘Don Esteban’. Finca Mama Mina (named after the nickname of the great-grandmother Mina McEwan) located in San Ramon is a rather recent finca within the Mierisch group. Harvest season starts in December and finishes in March and the soil is mainly sandy. The farm is located in a micro-climate where it experiences fog for the majority of the day. Therefore there are almost no shade trees at the farm needed. The farms has a wet-mill that shares it with the next-door farm ‘La Huella’. The farm produces washed, pulped natural as well as natural processed coffee.</p> <p></p> <p><strong>REGION:</strong> mataglpa</p> <p></p>
