Guatemalan Red De Mujeres Coffee

Information

The Return of the Red!

This coffee is personal favourite of ours here at York Emporium, so we are very chuffed by its return to our Roastery.

The Red de Mujeres, or 'network of women', is a large group of female coffee producers covering five different areas of Huehuetenango. The group is made up of 830 women, but this particular lot comes from the San Antonio Huista area and is the product of 50 producers. Within the entire community of women there are 8 different Mayan languages spoken, highlighting the diversity of culture and language in this area of Guatemala.

This delicious coffee is a fruity one. Beautiful sweet notes of Raspberry & Toasted Almond, finished off with a mouthful of smooth toffee. This coffee can guarantee a brilliantly bright & clean cup, which has been roasted so that it is best brewed as Filter, Aeropress or Cafetiere.

Region

Guatemala Red De Mujeres

All of these women have been either widowed during the 36 years of civil war in Guatemala, or were left when their husbands fled the country during the coffee crisis between 2001 and 2004. Since Huehuetenango was one of the areas hardest hit by the crisis, many people decided to give up altogether and find work elsewhere, leaving their families behind.
