Of the three non-volcanic coffee growing regions of Guatemala, Huehuetenango is the highest and driest under cultivation. Thanks to the dry, hot winds that blow into the mountains from Mexico’s Tehuantepec plain, the region is protected from frost, allowing coffee in Huehuetenango to be cultivated up to 2000 meters. The cool, crisp winds from the Cuchumatanes help moderate the temperature, which ranges from 20 to 24 degrees Celsius.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Presta Coffee","offers":[{"title":"10oz","offer_id":41669534679115,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":41669534711883,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":41669534744651,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0176\/8267\/files\/guatceiba.png?v=1754604814"},{"product_id":"instant-coffee-guatemala-ceiba-washed-copy","title":"Instant Coffee \/ Finca Milan Caturra Nitro Fermentation Washed","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Colombia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Risaralda\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eFarm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Finca Milán\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Julio Cesar Madrid\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eProcess\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Nitro Fermentation Washed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eVariety\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Caturra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eElevation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 1600 meters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eHarvest\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: September–November\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eTasting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Watermelon Jolly Ranchers, Kiwi, Melon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-stringify-type=\"paragraph-break\" class=\"c-mrkdwn__br\" aria-label=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eFarm Description:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Julio Madrid’s Finca Milán is in Vereda El Hogar in the municipality of Pereira in Colombia's Risaralda growing region.

In fact, coffee was never seen as a great option as an agricultural product in their area as the Brunca Growing Region had a bad reputation for quality and therefore coffees from their town would fetch unsustainable prices.

It is the lifeline of thousands of families. Out of this landscape, Café Selva Norte was created in 2018 as the first venture of the Urapi Fund, with a vision that goes far beyond coffee itself. It is a project rooted in restoring ecosystems, empowering communities, and building resilience for generations to come.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eWorking closely with ten cooperatives, Café Selva Norte addresses land degradation by financing farm renovation, supporting agroforestry systems, operating a state-of-the-art Cimbria Today, more than three thousand producers are part of this collective effort. Every tree planted is both a promise of better coffee and a step toward regenerating the forest. The project aims to reforest over eight thousand hectares, conserve more than two hundred thousand hectares of standing forest and turn degraded land into thriving agroforestry systems that support livelihoods and protect biodiversity.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eAt the center of this vision is the Farm School, where over a million coffee seedlings and thousands of forest plants are produced each year. More than a nursery, it is a space for learning and innovation where farmers receive training in sustainable practices, from pruning and fertilization to the introduction of resilient varieties.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eAs of 2024, Café Selva Norte works with cooperatives and associations of producers across Cajamarca, Amazonas, and San Martín. From these regions come some of Peru’s most representative varieties, including Catimor, Caturra, Pache, Typica, and Bourbon. Each lot is selectively harvested and carefully processed, carrying with it not only the taste of Peru but the story of a community shaping its own future through coffee.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eThis blend underwent washed process. Cherries are selectively handpicked at peak ripeness and pulped within 24 hours of harvest. The parchment coffee undergoes controlled fermentation in tanks with water for 12 to 48 hours, depending on climate and altitude, allowing the mucilage to break down naturally. After fermentation, the beans are washed thoroughly with fresh water to remove all residues. Drying takes place on raised beds, where the coffee is spread in thin layers and turned frequently until it reaches stable moisture of 10–12 percent.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Presta Coffee","offers":[{"title":"1 Box (Contains 6 Packs)","offer_id":42422161768523,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0176\/8267\/files\/peruinstant.jpg?v=1778876709"},{"product_id":"colombia-candy-blast-decaf-honey-watermelon-swiss-water-decaf","title":"Colombia - Candy Blast Decaf - Honey + Watermelon - Swiss Water Decaf","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003eCandy Blast - DECAF (Swiss Water Process)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVariety:\u003c\/b\u003e Caturra + Colombia\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProcess:\u003c\/b\u003e Honey + Watermelon | Swiss Water Decaf\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eElevation:\u003c\/b\u003e 1,750 m\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Huila - Tolima - Caldas\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFarm:\u003c\/b\u003e  Processed at El Vergel Estate\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/b\u003e Watermelon, candy, mint, bubblegum, raspberry \u0026amp; citric acid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePROCESS DESCRIPTION:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eThis blend of Caturra and Colombia varieties begins with a 48-hour pre-fermentation in plastic bags under anaerobic conditions, allowing complex flavors to form. After depulping, the beans, still in mucilage, are co-fermented with yeast \u0026amp; watermelon flavors for five days which imparts a refreshing sweetness. The beans are then pre-dried on sun-exposed patios, followed by mechanical drying in static silos. A 30-day stabilization period helps the flavors fully develop, delivering a balanced and distinctive profile.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSWISS WATER DECAF PROCESS:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eThis process starts with Green Coffee Extract (GCE), a unique solution made by soaking fresh green coffee beans in pure water to capture all the soluble solids—except caffeine. This GCE is the heart of the process, ensuring flavor integrity while removing caffeine naturally. Before decaffeination, green coffee is carefully cleaned and pre-soaked to reach the ideal moisture level, removing impurities like dust and silverskin. Next, the beans are immersed in the GCE, where caffeine is gently drawn out over 8–10 hours, leaving behind rich, aromatic compounds. The caffeine-laden GCE is then filtered through a proprietary carbon system, and the carbon is regenerated for reuse, making the process sustainable. Throughout, the GCE is continuously refreshed and monitored, so no new batch is needed for every new lot of green coffee. Finally, once 99.9% of the caffeine is removed, the beans are dried, bagged, \u0026amp; ready for roasting.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Presta Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42551597039691,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0176\/8267\/files\/5P0A7209.jpg?v=1780515789"}],"url":"https:\/\/prestacoffee.mom\/collections\/washed-process.oembed","provider":"Presta Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
