Guatemala Huehuetenango Asobagri

This  particular coffee is grown in an especially isolated corner of Huehuetenango, the northern most province of Guatemala, near the town of Santa Cruz Barillas.  The  spectacularly rugged terrain in this area has served to preserve the indigenous heritage, distinct clothing, and dialects of the local population.  In this cultural oasis, ASOBAGRI  (Asociación Barillense de Agricultores) has become an important bridge to the international coffee community.  

For all of the members numbering more than 1,400, spread across 80 communities, the cooperative provides training and technical support with an emphasis on strategies to enhance production using organic fertilizers, uniform drying practices, and routine cupping reviews.  The results are impressive.

Cup Profile: mild acidity, roasted nut, brown sugar, chocolate - medium roast
