Hailing from the isolated western region of Huehuetenango, this coffee was grown by the members of Association of Special Coffee Producers of Huehuetenango (ASOPCE). On the cupping table, this coffee stood out for its flavor profile of chocolate caramel and citrus. A testament to both the hard work of the co-op members is a well-textured, well-rounded, and all-around delicious medium light roast that we can (and do) drink all day. It shines in filtered drip and Aeropress. We pleasantly surprised by this coffee, and we know you will be too. It's not your average Guatemala. .collapsible { background-color: #2C5234; /* green */ color: white; cursor: pointer; padding: 12px 16px; width: 100%; border: none; text-align: left; outline: none; font-size: 16px; border-radius: 4px; margin-top: 8px; } .collapsible.active { background-color: #F2B500; /* yellow when clicked */ color: #000; } .content { padding: 12px 16px; display: none; overflow: hidden; background-color: #00000000; border-left: 2px solid #00000000; border-right: 2px solid #00000000; border-bottom: 2px solid #00000000; border-radius: 0 0 4px 4px; } + Coffee Details Country: Guatemala Producer: Various Altitude: 1350-2050 Meters Cultivar: Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, Pache, and San Ramon Process: Fully washed and Dried in the sun Certification: Organic & Non-GMO + Farm Story Guatemala ASOPCE – There are plenty of obstacles to cultivating and exporting coffee from the department of Huehuetenango. The terrain is rugged, and the weather is extreme. But coffee grows well here, and more than 450 families with farms that average just a few acres in size work together through a cooperative called the Association of Special Coffee Producers of Huehuetenango (ASOPCE) to overcome the obstacles. Each family uses their own micro-mill to process their harvest, which allows for meticulous care in cherry selection, depulping, fermenting, and drying the coffee. ASOPCE has a centralized warehouse to store dried parchment until it is time to move the coffee across the country along rough roads to Guatemala City where the coffee is prepared for export. Through ASOPCE, producers have gained access to technical assistance for managing their farms with the best agricultural practices. Using materials like coffee pulp to make organic fertilizers has helped reduce the transportation costs associated with purchasing fertilizer from afar, and at the same time, creates an abundant source of fertilizer that ensures better yields and quality. ASOPCE partners with an export company called BICAFE, which has a dry-mill facility powered by 250 solar panels. document.addEventListener("click", function(e) { var btn = e.target.closest(".collapsible"); if (!btn) return; btn.classList.toggle("active"); var content = btn.closest("p")?.nextElementSibling; if (content && content.classList.contains("content")) { content.style.display = content.style.display === "block" ?
