Description

The small producers group of „Todos Santos“, in the Huehuetenango Region, lives in the small village of San Martin Teogal. This small community plants and produces its coffee on the very top of the Cuchumatanes Mountain Range, the highest in Guatemala. Family and neighbours work on and live from the coffee plantations. They proudly produce up to 2500 bags per year.

Being isolated so far up the mountains their bourbon coffee plants are hardly ever affected by rust. The annual rainfall of 2500 mm and clay/sandy soil guarantee optimal growth for their cherries, which grow to a rich violet red under the shade of the chalum trees. They have a small wet mill and the coffee is 100% sundried.

The Todos Santos Community is one of the only ones that keep all of their Mayan traditions active, from the spoken dialect „Mam“ to the 260-day Mayan calender „Tzolkin“. Women, men and children wear the customary attire. For men this means red and white striped pants with a large blue collar on the shirt. For women it is the traditional purple „hupil“ blouse with a blue skirt.
