Huehuetenango is a department of Guatemala located in the western highlands and borders the Chiapas state of Mexico to the north. It is the country's most ethnically diverse region with a proud Mayan heritage.
This coffee is sourced from various farmes in the municipalities of Chajul, Quiche, Cotzal, and Nebaj of Huehuetenango. Their crops are blended together to create what is called a regional lot. Though tracability is limited, every single coffee in this lot has scored between 85 and 86 points on the Specialty Coffee Association’s scoresheet, which is several points higher than the minimum score of 80 to be considered of specialty grade.
In the Maya Q'qnjobal dialect from Huehuetenango, waykan means "star (or light) that shines in the sky at night."
The resulting cup reminds us of toffee, and peanut butter.
