Hunchouen Washed

This coffee comes from the Hunchouen collective, a network of small producers based in the Tajumuco region of Huehuetenango. Farms sit between 1800 and 1900 masl and are typically shaded by a mix of endemic forest trees, banana plants and leguminous shade trees. The coffees are grown from a mix of Bourbon, Caturra and Pache, reflecting the long-established plantings common across this part of western Guatemala.

Hunchouen coffees are produced by smallholders farming at altitude, where cooler temperatures slow cherry development and support balanced maturation. The lots represent aggregated production from the collective rather than a single farm, bringing together the work of hundreds of producers operating within the same growing conditions.

For every 24 kg bag sold, a contribution is made to the MAIA Impact School, an education initiative focused on supporting Indigenous girls in Guatemala. The coffee therefore sits within a wider framework that links agricultural production with long-term investment in education.
