Highlights
“Finca El Coyolar is a family-operated farm tucked into Aldea El Tesoro, La Libertad, in Guatemala's celebrated Huehuetenango region. Don Antulio Paulino Castillo Ramos bought the land back in 1997, when it was still being farmed mostly for corn, and slowly transformed it into a dedicated coffee property. Today El Coyolar covers 3.49 manzanas, roughly 90% of it planted in coffee, with banana grown alongside for crop diversity. Sitting at 1,800 meters, the farm catches the cool mountain air of the Cuchumatanes highlands, which slows cherry maturation and lets quality develop on its own time. The San Ramón and Caturra varietals are harvested at peak ripeness between January and April, then processed traditionally with an 18–24 hour fermentation followed by roughly 5 days of drying.”
