About coffee:

Cristina Hernandez Diaz is a first-generation coffee producer in the town of Petatan in Huehuetenango region. During the harvest Cristina makes sure that only the ripest cherries are picked. Cristina pays more for the pickers to do selective picking and usually this means in total of four passes on the farm during the harvest. The cherries are being depulped on the day of the picking, fermented and washed with clean water. Eventually the coffee is being dried on a patio in the sun from five to six days.

The name of Cristina’s farm, Yulchen, comes from the local indigenous language Popti, and means “Between the Stones”. The area around the farm is covered with large rocks which helps the area to maintain its cold climate suitable for coffee production. Between the rocks are also many little caves which are homes for wild animals like bats and vultures. In the future Cristina is interested in strengthening the agronomic practises and carrying out new processing methods.

“The farm has been our family livelihood and because of the coffee production, we have been able to afford studies for our children.”

Taste profile
How to understand the grid on packaging?

We wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to choose your coffee, so we worked with the guys from Steezy Graphic Studio to come up with a “grid” – a simple grid where you can easily find the characteristics of each coffee.
The red dot next to the description of each coffee is placed exactly there, so that you can easily imagine how the coffee will taste.

Citrus – chocolate
Here we’d like to give you an idea of how fruity the coffee will be. There’s a long way from citrus to chocolate, so imagine more in between:
citrus, berries, green apples, red apples, stone fruits, dried fruits, nuts, milk chocolate and dark chocolate 😉

Mild – wild
What is mild coffee? We’d say it’s unpretentious. A coffee that you can just have every morning and not have to think too much about it. It’s just good.
The higher the dot, the more excitement you can expect in the taste of coffee. The more surprising and fun it can be. These coffees are fruity, fun, interesting and make you think about what it is that you actually enjoy about them so much.
