  • Process

    This washed coffee is selectively harvested, mechanically depulped, and fermented in concrete tanks before being traditionally washed. The parchment is then dried on covered concrete patios for about one week, producing a clean and balanced cup.

  • Variety

    A blend of Pache, Marsellesa, Catimor, and Catuai grown in the mountains of Huehuetenango. These varieties contribute sweetness, bright fruit character, and a refined structure that reflects the region's high-altitude terroir.

  • Tasting Notes

    Sweet and elegant with notes of caramel, golden raisins, and white grape. A silky body and bright acidity come together in a clean, balanced finish.

Producer Profile

Arelis Nohelia Funes Mérida grew up in a coffee-producing family, where she developed a deep appreciation for coffee from an early age. Today, together with her husband, she farms El Arroyón, a 2.68-hectare farm in Los Regadillos, Unión Cantinil, Huehuetenango, at 1,580 masl. Purchased 15 years ago, the farm has gradually been renovated with more productive varieties while maintaining a strong commitment to quality.

Every stage of post-harvest processing takes place at El Arroyón's own wet mill, allowing Arelis and her family to oversee the coffee from harvest through drying. Named after the natural stream that flows beside the farm, El Arroyón shares its spring water with neighboring families for both household use and coffee processing. This connection between the community, the land, and its natural resources is reflected in every harvest and continues a coffee-growing tradition passed down through generations.
