ANDRES RAMIREZ

Andres is a first generation coffee farmer but, like many in Huehuetenango, his coffee is a family endeavour. In the town of Concepcion Huista, he and his wife have devoted themselves to learning everything about processing coffee from Yich Kalnahl: their 1.2 hectare finca.

Surrounded by dense forest and rolling mountains, banana plants and indigenous trees provide great shade. With temperatures ranging from 13-26 degrees celsius, the finca benefits from a cooler microclimate that allows coffee cherries to slowly develop their flavour.
