FARM: Boquerón Oriente

BEHIND THE PRODUCTION
In the Oriente region of Guatemala, smallholder farmers cultivate this coffee on farms averaging less than 5 hectares. Situated at elevations between 1,300 and 1,600 meters, the high altitude and ideal microclimate create perfect conditions for producing this delightfully floral and fruity coffee.

The farmers grow varieties such as Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, and Pache, utilizing traditional farming methods passed down through generations. Harvesting is done by hand, ensuring that only the ripest cherries are selected. After harvesting, the cherries are laid to dry in direct sunlight on concrete patios, with frequent raking to ensure even drying. This meticulous attention to detail at every stage of production reflects the farmers’ dedication to quality and their deep connection to the land.
LOCATION
The Oriente region, located in eastern Guatemala, is characterized by its mountainous terrain and rich volcanic soils. The combination of high altitudes and a favorable microclimate contributes to the unique flavor profile of this coffee. The region’s diverse microclimates and consistent rainfall patterns create an environment where coffee plants thrive, resulting in beans with distinct floral and fruity notes. The smallholder farmers of Oriente take pride in their sustainable farming practices, which not only produce exceptional coffee but also support the preservation of their natural environment.

The natural processing method begins with the careful handpicking of ripe cherries. After selection, the cherries are spread out to dry in direct sunlight on concrete patios. Farmers rake the cherries frequently to ensure even drying and to prevent fermentation or mold development.



This drying process can take several weeks, depending on weather conditions, and requires constant attention to detail. Once the cherries reach the desired moisture level, they are hulled to remove the dried fruit, leaving the green coffee beans ready for export. This natural processing method enhances the coffee’s fruity characteristics and contributes to its bright acidity and clean finish.
