  • Origin: Guatemala
  • Region: Huehuetenango, Jalcatenango
  • Altitude: 1885 MASL
  • Farm: Yupanaxol (you-pan-ash-ol)
  • Farmer: Jesús Jiménez Ramírez
  • Variety: Caturra
  • Process: Washed

Back in the year 2000, Jesús began working as a harvester in the town of Unión Cantinil to earn some money; he wanted to buy his own coffee farm one day. He bought a few plots of land in different areas in the region. It was too difficult getting to all the different parcels to harvest, so in 2006 he sold the farther away ones in order to afford a larger plot of land all in one area.

The coffee is moved to their artisanal wet mill and depulped. The fermentation lasts around 32 hours, with no extra water added. Jesús and his wife wash the coffee and then spread it in the sun to dry. His wife moves the coffee at least 6 times per day in order to maintain thorough and even drying.

  1. Jorge (verified owner) –

    This single-origin stunner from Guatemala’s misty highlands is pure bliss. Aromas of ripe fruit and buttery pastry draw you in, while sips reveal caramelized pears’ honeyed sweetness, floral frangipane elegance, and rich chocolate ganache depth. Creamy mouthfeel and medium body make every pour-over luxurious yet light—no bitterness, just lingering joy. My daily ritual? Absolutely. 9.5/10—hooked for life.

      Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review. Our Guat Yupanaxol has been a favourite of mine ever since it came upon our cupping table. It’s the perfect coffee to see you through the cold autumn months. For pour-over, I’ve been enjoying this on a plastic V60, 16.5g medium fine coffee (approx 500 microns) with 95°c water. 50g bloom for 30 seconds, then 100g water and a further 100g to finish around 2:30. Thank you so much, all the best – Will @BW&S (QC and Sensory)
