ABOUT THE COFFEE / REGION
Firmin Aguilar Escalante owns Finca El Recuerdo in Cuilco in Huehuetenango. He hopes to continue to improve the quality of his coffee by experimenting with new hybrids. The farm focuses on maintaining the health of the land/plants and hopes to continue to increase productivity.

Huehuetenango is located in Western Guatemala bordering Mexico. It is extremely diverse and known for producing some of the best coffees in Latin America due to its climate, altitude, water sources, and traditional varieties. A range of offerings come out of
Huehuetenango, including chocolatey volume offerings and fruit-forward microlots.

Smallholder farmers make up the vast majority of Guatemala's coffee sector, and our green buyers are constantly searching for exceptional small lots of farm-specific coffees to purchase. These are differentiated on our offerings list as having both the highest quality and achieving the producers the highest prices.
