Ā La Morena program started to give female coffee growers access to the global supply chain and to address gender inequality in coffee farming. The program started off small; we worked with four IWCA members to import 32 boxes of green coffee beans. It was a micro-lot by all accounts, but roasters were receptive, and the small lot quickly stocked out. The growers enjoyed success from that introduction to the market and their coffees and their coffees became highly sought after.
The Huipiles regional blend is a showcase that encapsulates the rich, complex flavors signature of the Huehuetenango Department. Many small communities coexist here, each with its own traditions that are reflected in its huipil design, a traditional garment with multiple panels stitched together. Each embroidered pattern is geography-specific, and the complexities of these designs are represented in the Huipiles regional blend. In the cup, a medium body with medium acidity is highlighted by sweet and aromatic notes of milk chocolate, vanilla, brown spices, pear, and pecan.
