La Cumbre

Catalina Jose inherited La Cumbre from her father, in the beautiful region of Huehuetenango. This is superb example of the regions terroir, with a sweet, crisp profile.

The region of Huehuetenango is home to some of our favourite Guatemalan producers. La Cumbre - the summit - is one of the highest points in the area that surrounds the town of San Antonio Huista. The rich, verdant landscape offers fantastic terroir for coffee. Catalina produces the Caturra, Bourbon, and Pache varietals. Across the farm, evergreen grevillea trees provide shade for the different coffee.

This coffee is the result of a great deal of effort by Catalina and her family; she herself is in charge of the processing of this coffee. The steep landscape means that sacks of cherries are moved by horse from the farm to the road, and then loaded into a truck which brings them to the mill.
