Should you have had the chance to come see us in Guatemala, you likely encountered our Agronomist, José Lopez (see pic 1)! A fantastic coffee producer, a cherished coworker and highly regarded within the Huehue coffee community. While we previously simply referred to him as José Lopez, we refer to him as José Alberto nowadays since, another José Lopez (pic 2) joined the Agronomy team! He is referred to as José Manuel and is as knowledgeable and friendly as José the first.

End of May means the start of the rainy season in Guatemala, a critical time for plants - including coffee - to recuperate from the long dry season which runs from November to May.
The first weeks of rain are crucial for coffee trees, as the moisture triggers flowering. Good rains and healthy flowers mean a strong start to the harvest to come, many months later.

We met Don Hector this March during a visit to the Tinamit Tolimán cooperative, a group of producers located in the mountains of Lake Atitlán. Don Hector, a former primary school teacher, walks us through some of his farm management techniques, such as varietal selection, careful shade management, and terraced row planting to prevent soil erosion. As you can see, the unique environment of each plot of land must be carefully considered, as even a small change in altitude or shade can affect the harvest.

Latin America is a colorful and welcoming place. Walking through the streets you'll often hear calls of '¡pase adelante!' which roughly translates to 'come on in!'
Cafes are common, though the coffee is not always of the same quality as in consuming countries. This is because the most valuable coffee typically leaves the producing country to be purchased by international buyers.
This is starting to change, with many cutting-edge cafes opening all the time. And of course there are still many traditional places to grab a 'cafecito' - great spots for meeting locals and sharing a brew (perhaps with a little sugar 😉)

Talk about living on the edge?
Dramatic cliffs - and world's bravest woman - captured during a recent visit to the Huista region of Huehuetenango, Guatemala 😅
