Story

This lot is a blend of five varieties: Bourbon, Catimor, Caturra, Maragogype, and Pache—grown across the smallholder farms that define the region, where coffee accounts for roughly 80% of the local economy, and where indigenous farming communities have shaped production for generations. Washed processing brings out a cup that's soft and layered: ripe pear and prune up front, with a base of toasted almond that lingers into the finish.

Smallholders

Huehuetenango, Guatemala

In the Maya Q'anjob'al dialect spoken throughout Huehuetenango, "waykan" means star — the light that shines in the night sky. It's a fitting name for coffee from a region defined by extremes: steep mountain terrain, dramatic swings between day and night temperatures, and microclimates that shift from one ridge to the next. Those conditions, layered onto volcanic soil and high elevation, are what give Huehuetenango coffee its distinct character — bright, layered, and unmistakably of its place.
