About The Coffee
Francisco Morales and his wife have been the proud owners of La Esperanza farm in Cipresales for over 40 years. And they have achieved a great deal.
As with many other producers, the initial years of starting their farm activities were very challenging ones. But thanks to the hard work, dedication and commitment of the family, the farm has grown into a business that provides income for the household and generates a source of employment for many others in the surrounding area.
You can imagine how the name of the farm, which in English translates into “The Hope”, explains how important coffee production is for them.
Francisco’s curiosity and interest in improving coffee quality has resulted in winning several prizes in the Huehuetenango Highland competitions.
This year he dried the parchment coffee under shade nets, to improve the gradual process of drying and with the aim to enhance flavour and prolong shelf-life.
