Description

Description

Coffee’s journey in Guatemala began in the 18th century when Jesuits introduced it to the monasteries of Antigua. Over the next 150 years, coffee estates spread, mainly owned by European colonists. Guatemala gained independence in 1821, leading to a surge in coffee production and establishing the country as a major coffee producer.
However, challenges arose with the Agrarian Reform Law of 1952, which redistributed land from estates to locals and indigenous communities, disrupting coffee production. A 36-year civil war further hindered the industry’s growth.
Despite these obstacles, coffee regained prominence, involving a quarter of Guatemala’s population in cultivation or processing. In the picturesque region of Amatitlán, home to the village of Los Humitos, lies Finca Los Humitos. Originally owned by Dr. Rodolfo Castillo, the farm now thrives under Seo Hee Holding, S.A.
The volcanic-rich soils of Los Humitos provide an ideal environment for growing coffee, with varieties like Bourbon, Catimor, Caturra, and Catuaí flourishing. The commitment to quality and sustainability at Finca Los Humitos ensures that each coffee embodies Guatemala’s unique terroir and rich heritage
Process

Process
At Finca Los Humitos, located in Guatemala, coffee undergoes a meticulous fully washed process to ensure exceptional quality. This coffee, cultivated in the fertile lands of Los Humitos, is a blend of various varieties, including Bourbon, Yellow Catuaí, Catimor, Caturra and along with new batches of Anacafe 14.
The fully washed process begins with the hand selection of the ripest and healthiest coffee cherries to guarantee maximum quality. Once harvested, the cherries are taken to the wet mill of the farm, where they undergo a meticulous washing process.
During washing, the coffee cherries are submerged in water to remove their outer pulp. Then, the coffee seeds, or beans, are separated from the pulp and washed again to eliminate any remaining residue.
After washing, the coffee beans are dried uniformly on patios or raised beds, carefully monitored to ensure optimal dryness and consistent quality.
Once dried, the coffee beans undergo rigorous quality testing and are hand-selected to eliminate defects. Finally, the fully washed coffee from Finca Los Humitos is ready to be roasted to perfection and delivered to your cup, offering an exceptional coffee experience that captures the unique essence of Guatemala
