FINCA CALAHUTE
Alfonso Anzueta Jr carries on three generations of coffee farming at Finca Calahute in Guatemala's Huehuetenango region.
FINCA CALAHUTE
Finca Calahute is a 220ha family farm in San Pedro Necta, high in Huehuetenango's Cuchumatanes mountains. It's run by Alfonso Anzueta Jr, the third generation of his family to farm coffee here. We buy this coffee through Prisma, our exporter partner in Guatemala. The farm sits between 1300 and 1800 masl. Cool temperatures slow the ripening of the cherries and help build more sugars and flavour. After picking, the cherries are pulped and fermented in water. Next they're washed. Then they dry slowly, first on the patio and later in mechanical dryers. In this sweet, milky cup, we taste purple grape, red apple and chocolate.
