Juan Hernandez Aguilar is a small indigenous Mayan producer who speaks Mam. Cultivated in the Sierra de Los Cuchumatanes mountains of Huehuetenango, this micro-lot from Juan is located in a sector of Rio Ocho that he refers to as Q’Ail. Juan is committed to organic farming practices, but does not have organic certification due to the significant financial investment required for certification. Unique to their growing area, Juan de-pulps the coffee cherry in his parcels and then transports it to his home to complete the wet mill process. He then dries his coffee on black nylon and concrete patios in full sun. Grind Types Explained Why Does Grind Type Matter?
