Focused and refined with rich flavors of chewy mallow, milk chocolate, roasted nut, fresh cacao nib, plum and delicate underlying spice. A classic, smooth Huehuetenango profile.
Florencio Villatoro began cultivating coffee at the age thirteen while working on his father’s farm, Finca La Esperanza. Early on, his father gave him a small plot of land to cultivate for himself which he calls El Diamante. Together with the help of his wife, Lesvia Marilú López, his four children and five grandchildren each year they harvest and employ a fully washed process of their coffee.
For over forty years Don Florencio has continued to expand his farm while experimenting with different arabica varieties. His primary focus now is on growing Caturra, Catuai and Bourbon coffee varieties while increasing production and continuously improving quality. A lifetime of careful and concerted effort has created this whistle clean, classic Huehuetenango profile.
