Regional Details: There are plenty of obstacles to cultivating and exporting coffee from the department of Huehuetenango. The terrain is rugged and the weather is extreme. But coffee grows well here, and 634 families with farms that average just a few acres in size work together through a cooperative called Guaya'b Asociación Civil (GUAYA'B) to overcome the obstacles. This particular lot is traceable to 115 women who participate in the Manos de Mujer certification program. Processing Details: GUAYA'B has an established centralized wet-mill equipped with environmental controls to return water to the environment free of contamination. After the coffee is depulped, it is fermented for 18-24 hours, then washed and graded. The coffee is then dried on patios in the sun. The result is a vibrant regional profile ensuring greater earnings for women producers.
