Specialty Coffee from GUATEMALA El Sol
This batch comes from the La Bolsa farm, located in the municipality of La Libertad, in Huehuetenango. The region is located at the foot of the Cuchumatanes, the highest non-volcanic mountain range in Central America. The mixture of hot thermal masses with cold ones protects the area from frost, creating the right conditions for coffee to grow up to 2,000 m.a.s.l. The region has a calcareous soil known for its relatively high pH levels that influence the acidity of the cup. Huehuetenango coffee is considered one of the highest quality in Guatemala.
La Bolsa is located between two mountains, which provides a very stable and humid microclimate that, in combination with the limestone-rich soils, gives rise to a very particular coffee profile, with a rich syrupy body and abundant malic and citric acidity. The farm is covered with chalum, pine trees and three other varieties.
La Bolsa was founded in 1958 by Dr. Jorge Vides. He has received several awards for his coffee (including second place in the 2002 Cup of Excellence) and for his involvement in the development of the Huehuetenango region. Even the main hospital in the community bears his name. In 1980, Jorge founded a school that still operates on the farm. Since 1996, the farm has been managed by Maria Elena Vides.
In 2012, Finca la Bolsa, together with Association Coffee Care, created a project to reduce child labor and improve the quality of life of farm workers and their families through daycare and vocational workshops for children ages 2 to 14.
La Bolsa is Rainforest Alliance certified and adheres to C.A.F.E.
