The story behind Finca Las Pinos Huehuetenango Washed ML
In 2013, Renardo Ovalle planted coffee in several plots that he called Los Pinos because this region, due to its height above 2,000 masl, could be seen as large old pines.
It is located in Santa Barbara, a municipality near Huehuetenango, where rainfall is scarcer compared to other regions of Huehuetenango. The varieties that were planted with coffee were Caturra, Bourbon, and Pacamara. Something that began as an experiment resulted in a unique coffee due to its soil and height conditions
Huehuetenango has coffee-growing altitudes up to 2,100 meters above sea level, moderate temperatures, consistent rainfall, and volcanic soil, creating ideal conditions for the complex and interesting coffees we expect from the region. Coffee is harvested between January and April and usually arrives in the US around the beginning of July.
