This Huehuetenango selection offers deep Dutch chocolate undertones lifted by hints of citrus. A finish of kiwi, toffee, and mixed berries rounds out the cup, making it superb for filter or espresso preparation.  

Rosa Maria de la Peña’s coffees have placed in multiple Cup of Excellence competitions. She began cultivating avocados and coffee on Finca Los Aguacatones in 2009. After a major fire in 2010, Rosa Maria decided to replant the farm and focus entirely on coffee production. She made many improvements to the soil, including planting chalum and gravileas, two endemic tree species that fix nitrogen. She also established a new rainwater catchment system where water tanks store rainwater from the rainy season to slowly irrigate the trees during the dry summer season.
