Porfirio Martinez cultivates Caturra and San Ramon coffee varieties on his farm, Finca El Senegal in La Libertad, Huehuentenango. He works with the Vides family of Vides58 to export his coffee. Jorge Vides, patriarch of the Vides58 family-owned exporter, founded a school on his farm in 1980. The school is still educating young people in the community today. Vides58 also established a joint program with Association Coffee Care, an organisation dedicated to reducing instances of child labour by offering educational and recreational programs to children aged 2 to 14.
After selective hand picking, the coffee cherries are pulped and
fermented in water tanks. The water allows for a slow, period of fermentation, which creates a clean, complex flavour profile. After fermentation, the parchment coffee is laid out to dry on concrete patios, where it is frequently raked to ensure even drying.
This coffee is luxuriously sweet with lots of character.
Coffee is exempt from GST.
