Jesús Guzmán, Producer
Pacas. Grown at 1730 masl.

We are proud to be able to offer this exclusive coffee from woman-producer Jesús Guzmán. As we purchase her entire production, you won't find this selection anywhere else!

Jesus had been working with commercial grade coffee since 2011, and as a clothing inspector in San Pedro Sula. With the money from her inspection job, she decided to buy a high elevation plot of land with the hopes of increasing her household income through the production of specialty grade coffee.

She suggested we name this selection "Las Mariposas"  after the white butterflies that flutter around her remote coffee farm. 

After picking, every day, Jesús transports the cherries on pack horses across the mountain to her brother-in-law's wet mill. There she de-pulps the cherries and puts them in a concrete tank to dry fermentation for 23 hours. Then she transports it by car to the parabolic solar dryers in the backyard of her sister's house, where it dries for 15 days. 

Final milling is done at Beneficio San Vicente.
