Guatemala - Comal [Espresso 1 KG]

A group of 124 female producers have curated a beautiful blend of washed SHB EP FTO coffee with the assistance of COMAL (Asociación Civil Comercializadora Maya Alternativa). With their support, the producers strive to improve the quality of the coffee and the sustainability of their farms by creating organic fertilizer, participating in workshops on entrepreneurship and financial education, as well as tending to the roots of the coffee plants for health and productivity.

Each producer individually processes and dries the beans on their own small terraces, equipped with pulpers, fermentation tanks, washers and parabolic dryers. COMAL collects the beans from the producers and delivers them to the FECCEG dry mill in Quetzaltenango, where the quality team analyzes each batch. Depending on the quality, the coffee is either stored separately and sold as a micro lot or combined with other coffees from the same producer organization and quality group.
