La Esperanza

Bordered on the northwest by Mexico, the department of Huehuetenango has one of the most diverse local climate, ranging from mountain peaks where the temperature sometimes falls below freezing to tropical lowland rainforest.

This coffee is sourced from Francisco Morales and his farm La Esperanza in El Coyegual, Huehuetenango. Francisco began his career in coffee at age 15, when he started selecting coffee seeds and started planting in his nursery for his first small lot next to the main road. He's faced many challenges over the years, but has grown his lot sizes and increased quality over time. In the year 2000 for example, prices dropped drastically. He bought neighboring land to increase production, and over the years has been able to provide for his family. He has 7 daughters and 20 grandchildren, a few of whom provide support around the farm.

The resulting cup reminds us of caramel, apple and taffy.
