Guatemala Las Moritas

Story

Don Higinio and his wife Doña Aura bought their first small plot of land in 1988, naming it San José Las Moritas. Las Moritas would be the first of many farms Don Higinio would acquire over the years. Spanning between an altitude of 1,200-1,800 meters with various types of terrain, soil, and climates, this land makes for diverse growing conditions. In total, Las Moritas has 70 Hectares of land with 56 hectares devoted to coffee. The farm consists of planes, hills, mountains, and even cliffs that the workers somehow manage to harvest.

This is our second year purchasing this naturally processed Pacamara lot from Las Moritas. Pacamara is a variety of coffee originating from a cross between Pacas and Maragogipe. This large bean variety is capable of producing exceptional cup quality. This selection produces a cup that is sweet and round with notes of apple, cinnamon, and chocolate wafer.
