About the Beans : Guatemala - El Rincon
El Rincón is a farm located in the department of La Libertad in the region of Huehuetenango. Huehuetenango is the highest growing region in Guatemala, making its coffees some of the most valued in the country.
In 1956 Roberto Molina and his wife Yolanda Molina, acquired the farm and began to plant Caturra, Bourbon and Catuaí, which is the essence of this particular lot and proudly the farm's signature profile.
In 2012 the death of Roberto pushed Yolanda Molina to make some decisions for the farm, a place she has been deeply connected to for her whole life. Younger generations joined the management of the farm and they have since started to process natural and honey coffees as well as their fully washed coffees, and planted a host of new varieties.
The farm is located in a ‘rincón’, a top end part of a mountain. The plantation follows the slope of mountains and reaches 1800 meters at its highest part.
