Denin de Leon

Finca El Bordo is a small 3-hectare farm situated in the village of El Coyegual, near the town of San Antonio Huista, Huehuetenango. El Bordo is owned by Denin de Leon, a second generation coffee producer. The farm was initially inherited by Denin's father, who started producing coffee on the land. Denin took over when the time came, continuing his father's work. Denin continues to sustain the farm, improving his coffee's quality year on year.

PROCESSING

At harvest, cherry is collected in three rounds of selective picking. Cherries are pulped immediately, before undergoing a 48hr fermentation. The beans are then washed with clean water, sourced from the local village, and sundried on patios for approximately 4 days.

TRACEABILITY

Sourced by Primavera, who work with over 200 local producers in Guatemala, as well as having their own farm. They mill, bag and export all their coffees through their sister company, La Central de Cafe.
