Set high in Huehuetenango’s western highlands, this lot comes from a region defined by its altitude and rich, fertile terroir – making it a renowned coffee growing area. Sitting between 1600-1750 masl, La Esperanza benefits from warm daytime temperatures and cool nights, slowing cherry maturation and building layered sweetness.
Cherries are selectively picked between 6am-3pm, before being pulped at the wet mill and fermented for 24-36 hours.
In the cup, expect syrupy, stone fruit sweetness and a silky, smooth texture.

Before Aurelia took over the farm, La Esperanza was run by his father, Don Eleodoro, who purchased it in 1953 after years spent trading coffee across the region, often making nine-day round trips on foot to reach his customers.
That same determination underpins the work today. Under Aurelia’s stewardship, the farm continues to refine its production while maintaining its reputation as one of Guatemala’s most respected producers, with regular appearances in the Cup of Excellence reflecting both their consistency and ambition.
