<p>Finca Capetillo is located in the Antigua Valley between the Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango volcanoes. Capetillo’s coffee has the Antigua Guatemala denomination of origin and is a member of the Antigua Coffee Producers Association (APCA), which certifies the origin of all the coffee produced within a strictly determined area. The Antigua region has ideal coffee growing conditions. The high altitude, mild temperatures of 20 to 26˚C during the day and 10 to18˚C during the night, perfect rain patterns during the year and rich volcanic soil, provide a unique ecosystem for growing coffee. </p> <p>The finca, owned by Pedro Echeverria (6th generation), has its own wet &amp; dry-mill located close to the village of Alotenango. This year we bought a fine ‘Bourbon’ lot from Capetillo that represents the quality coffee they grow and produce year after year. </p> <p><strong>REGION:</strong> antgua (sacatepequez</p> <p><strong>LOT:</strong> 'bourbon' (shb - ep)</p> <p></p>

<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. This lot was picked by a small group of pickers in 4 picking rounds. 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>
