This community lot comes from Chimaltenango, a beautiful coffee-growing region in Huehuetenango. Farmers in this region typically grow Caturra, Maragogype, and Catuai varieties, but have also explored the cultivation of hybrids such as Pache, a dwarf Bourbon mutation. The employment of hybrid varietals in Guatemala was largely born out of necessity. Beginning in 2012 and lasting for several years, an outbreak of coffee-leaf rust proved a tremendous obstacle to coffee production in the country, reducing yields by as much as 25%, and causing the government to declare a state of emergency. Varieties such as Pache are naturally resistant to coffee leaf-rust.

SEND IT FRESH
Online Order Schedule
We've decided to evolve the way we send out coffee. Rather than limiting you to what we have already roasted in stock, we're allowing you to preorder whatever coffee you like in whatever size bag and we'll roast it just for you and send it fresh. So here's how to get the best of our 'SEND IT FRESH' program.
PREORDER SINGLE ORIGINS by MONDAY EVENING* - Anytime.
WE ROAST: Tuesday/Wednesday.
WE SEND IT: TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY (as soon as it's roasted)
*If you order Tuesday - Thursday: We'll send it if it's fresh and in stock. (On season Blend & Roaster Choice usually always available, please enter your mobile in checkout so we can get quicker responses from you if needed.)
*FRIDAY/MONDAY: We don't dispatch these days unless specially requested. We think it's better for you to have reasonably fresh coffee when it arrives, these days are too far from our roast days, and couriers move slower. So If you order Friday - Monday: Your order will be put on the list for roasting on Tuesday/Wednesday.
