Finca la Providencia-Guatemala SHB (Manor of providence)

Finca La Providencia is located in the San Pedro Necta region of Huehuetenango province, Guatemala. La Providencia is a large farm covering an area of 64 hectares. The property is located in the Cuchumatanes Mountains, 1500 to 1900 meters above sea level. Thanks to the limestone soil of the region, La Providencia coffee has a mild and bright shape and soft acidity.

La Providencia mainly grows Caturra (35%) and Catuai (60%), as well as a small piece of Pacamara (5%). Coffee fruit is more environmentally friendly because of the Penagos pulping machine on the farm. Using a complete cleaning instead of removing the flesh, the fruit is rubbed. In this way, compared with the traditional washing method, only 5% of the water is used, which means that the output of waste water is greatly reduced.

Vivette Nango

Huehuetenango is a producing area of northern Guatemala near Mexico. Because of the non-volcanic limestone soil of the Cuchumatanes Mountains, the coffee produced in the Huehuetenango plateau is similar to the typical Guatemalan taste. The pH value of the soil in this area (pH4.5) is quite high, in part because of limestone. Small fruit coffee can grow in a variety of acidic soils ranging from acidic (pH4) to neutral (pH7). This is partly due to the solubility of nitrogen, one of the most important micronutrients in coffee, which is most soluble in soils with a pH of 4-8. Soil acidity determines the solubility of nutrients-they must be kept long enough to dissolve and pour the soil into the roots of the plant. It also affects the decomposition of minerals and rocks into elements that plants can use.
