Guatemala Agua Durce Coffee comes from Aguadurse, located in the southwestern province of Vivette Nango, near the Cuchu Matanes Mountains of Guatemala, the city of Curco. The Maraku Chumatanes Mountains is the highest non-volcanic mountain region in Central America. High elevations and windy villages are the most common spectacular environmental features in this region. Vivette Nango province, located in southwestern Guatemala near the Mexican border, is a world-famous region for producing high-quality Guatemalan coffee beans. The name of the Agua Durse cooperative comes from the rich water resources in the region-Aguadurse means "sweet water". The collection of Guatemala Agua Dulce coffee is artificially picked and then processed-first, the pulp is removed by adding water and fermented naturally in a cement fermentation trough. Finally, the coffee can be washed and fully sunburned in a cement channel. The Agua Durse Cooperative was established in 1972 with a clear mission to promote social and economic prosperity and the development of family culture through financial assistance and the commercialization of coffee farmers' organizations. This is a small Fairtrade certified cooperative with 53 members with an average annual output of only 30 bags per small coffee farmer (the Central American standard is 69KG1 bags).
