About this Coffee:
This coffee was produced with the help of Slow Food International. The Slow Food movement aims to support small-scale producers who preserve crop varieties, agricultural practices, and food traditions. A Presidium, or an organized group of producers, was created in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala with the help of Slow Food. Today, the Presidium consists of 170 small growers who are organized through local cooperatives in three different communities: San Pedro Necta, La Libertad, and Todos Santos Cuchumatán.
The Presidium producers work to protect both the health of the local environment and the well-being of the producers and their families. In addition, producers are committed to maintaining and improving the quality of the coffee they produce, and educational workshops and technical training help to give producers a better understanding of the factors that affect the quality of coffee.
