Multiple Small Producers

Hunapu is the indigenous name (in Quiché) that the ancient Mayans gave to Volcán de Agua, where Antigua is located. This selection is from small producers from the areas of Ciudad Vieja and San Miguel Dueñas near Volcán de Agua and its slopes.

The process of separating lots has allowed these producers to improve the quality of their coffees. They also have been working hard in improving their agricultural activities like plant nutrition, tissue management and pest/disease control when necessary.

After picking the cherries, the coffee is taken to Bella Vista for wet and dry milling. Coffee is separated by lots (day of picking, variety, altitude) before going through the process of de-pulping, fermentation, washing and drying. The coffees is sun-dried on patios or in Bella Vista's greenhouses which allow the coffee to dry uniformly in a controlled environment. 

Bella Vista's dry mill process then ensures even more quality control through the use of a separator and color sorter. The quality and care that goes into the production of Hunapu is evident in the sweet, clean, full-bodied cup. Notes of salted caramel, milk chocolate, dark cherry and hazelnut make us want to drink this coffee all day!
