GUATEMALA’S BAJA VERAPAZ REGION, NESTLED WITHIN THE LUSH MOUNTAINS AND VOLCANIC LANDSCAPES OF CUBULCO, PROVIDES PERFECT CONDITIONS FOR CULTIVATING EXCEPTIONAL ARABICA COFFEES. SOARING BETWEEN 1,200 AND 1,800 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL, THIS REGION PRODUCES COFFEES CELEBRATED FOR THEIR BRIGHT ACIDITY AND SMOOTH, BALANCED FLAVORS.
CUBULCO, A PLACE RICH WITH HISTORY AND CULTURE, IS HOME TO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES WHO PRESERVE CENTURIES-OLD TRADITIONS. ANCIENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES, TROPICAL CLIMATES, AND CRYSTAL-CLEAR WATERWAYS CREATE A LANDSCAPE AS VIBRANT AS THE COFFEE IT YIELDS. THE VOLCANIC SOILS AND UNIQUE MICROCLIMATES HERE CONTRIBUTE TO COFFEES BRIMMING WITH COMPLEXITY AND CHARACTER.
THE LA MORENA PROGRAM, LAUNCHED IN 2016, GREW FROM A HUMBLE BEGINNING—JUST FOUR WOMEN FARMERS AND A SMALL MICRO-LOT—INTO A MOVEMENT EMPOWERING OVER 800 WOMEN ACROSS GUATEMALA’S COFFEE HEARTLANDS. THIS INITIATIVE HAS OPENED DOORS FOR WOMEN PRODUCERS, ALLOWING THEIR COFFEE TO REACH GLOBAL MARKETS AND SHINE IN THE WORLD OF SPECIALTY COFFEE.
EVERY SIP OF LA MORENA COFFEE IS A CELEBRATION OF DEDICATION AND RESILIENCE: NOTES OF MILK CHOCOLATE, PRALINE, GRANOLA, AND CRISP GREEN APPLE CREATE A VIBRANT, BRIGHT CUP WITH A MEDIUM BODY, REFLECTING BOTH THE RICH LANDSCAPE AND THE INSPIRING SPIRIT OF THE WOMEN WHO GROW IT. THIS COFFEE STANDS AS A TRUE TESTAMENT TO GUATEMALA’S SPECIALTY COFFEE LEGACY.
