Description

Originating from El Rincón, located in a limestone valley in the La Libertad, Huehuetenango region of Guatemala, the farm was acquired by Roberto Molina in 1956. 

The farm has been managed by different members of the family since Roberto Molina's passing in 2009. Currently the Vides Family own the farm, focusing on producing quality-driven microlots with the farm also planting new trees and exotic varietals. The valley's stable climate and chalky soils contribute to the coffee's distinct flavour profile.

The processing techniques used at the farm include dry fermentation in tiled tanks for 18-24 hours, washing and grading in channels, and soaking the coffee overnight in clean water. This natural processed coffee is sun-dried on patios for 20 days.
