A note from our supplier, Primavera:
Rosendo Domingo is a second-generation coffee producer in Petatan, Huehuetenango. Before the harvest he made sure that his pickers and other employees were motivated to work well. They picked only the ripest cherries and depulped them the same day of the picking. The coffee was then fermented in water between 36 to 40 hours and washed with clean water. The first hours of the drying process the coffee was left in thick layers to lower the humidity and then rested in 5mm thick layers in sun for five days to reach 12% humidity for exporting.
Lastly the coffee parchment was sorted by hand to eliminate the defects and impurities. “My parents started with coffee production about 30 years ago. Before this our family had a very low income but after we started to receive harvests, coffee was able to give us a better life”, Rosendo explains.” In the future Rosendo is interested in developing his washing process as well as looking into the honey and natural processes. “My parents were a great example for me and when we were young we were able to learn about coffee production. Today me and my two sisters have experience of producing and marketing our coffee”, tells Rosendo.”
Our coffee comes in craft paper bags which contain a plastic liner on the inside to guarantee freshness of our coffee. Please dispose properly at your local plastic trash container. The Village Coffee is roasted fresh every week, and best consumed within four weeks after roast date. Store your coffee in a dry, dark and cool place, avoid the fridge.
