Huehuetenango is one of Guatemala’s three non-volcanic yet highest and driest coffee-growing regions. Warm air currents from Mexico meet cool winds from the Cuchumatanes Mountains, creating a unique microclimate that allows coffee cultivation up to 2,000 meters. Due to its remote location, most farmers process their own beans – helped by the many rivers and streams in the area. These exceptional conditions contribute to the vibrant acidity and fruity character of Huehuetenango coffees.
