Sensory profile “Notes of chocolate, lemon, sugar cane and hazelnut. » This coffee is produced in the Pampojila farm, a plantation located in the Solola region, in the department of Santa Barbara. Located not far from the Atitlan volcano, the farm benefits from rich volcanic soil, a considerable asset for the cultivation of its coffee trees. These are all produced in accordance with a responsible, sustainable and socially viable production method. The liveliness of this coffee is reminiscent of the coffees of Huehuetenango. PAMPOJILA It was following the Agatha storm of 2012 that producer Alex Herrera bought the Pampojila farm, whose production tools had been completely devastated. After restoring it and by dint of determination, he succeeded in relaunching production and, thus, giving work to a hundred families. The discovery of coffee production on a farm like this (500 hectares of volcanic land at an altitude of between 1250 and 1500m, a processing plant, etc.) completely changed his perception of coffee: Alex then discovered a real local product. This is why he is fully involved in the renovation and development of the farm, first by replanting coffee trees, then by renovating the processing plant. Today, 250 hectares of Caturra coffee trees are planted between 1470 and 1720m; the remaining 250 hectares serve as a nature reserve.
