    Variety:   Bourbon, Arabigo, Caturra

    Processing: Washed

    Huehuetenango farms sit high in the mountains ranging from 5,000 – 6,500 feet (2,000m). This renowned region owes much to the dry, hot winds that come in from the mountains of Mexico’s Tehuantepec plain. The additional heat layers protect Huehuetenango from frost and enable coffee to grow at dizzying heights. The fact that Huehuetenango farms are so high up and remote means that producers must often set up their own micro-mills. Fortunately, Huehuetenango is also blessed with numerous rivers that facilitate washed-process coffee. 

      

    The Huipiles regional blend is a showcase that encapsulates the rich, complex flavors signature of the Huehuetenango Department. Many small communities coexist here, each with its own traditions that are reflected in its huipil design, a traditional garment with multiple panels stitched together. Each embroidered pattern is geography-specific, and the complexities of these designs are represented in the Huipiles regional blend. In the cup, a medium body with medium acidity is highlighted by sweet and aromatic notes of milk chocolate, vanilla, brown spices, pear, and pecan.

     

  • These bags are made in the UK from cellophane film that has been accredited biodegradable & compostable to 'BS EN 13432' and 'OK Compost'. They are also approved for Anaerobic digestion (ISO 15985) & Marine biodegradation ASTM D6691-09. The film has also been tested to ensure that once composted there are no adverse effects on the plant growth.

     

    What is Cellulose? 
    Cellulose is a substance from a plants cell wall, this can be extracted from waste plant material to produce the bio film used in these bags. Once used, these bags will biodegrade producing CO2 and H2O, these 2 compounds are combined with sunlight and converted into energy by plants in a process called photosynthesis. The resulting tree growth can then be used to produce more bags.   

     

    BIODEGRADATION INFO: 
    Our cellulose bags are fully biodegradable and compostable which means that they break down to CO2, H20 and biomass which can then be reused in the eco system to make new plants. This will happen in either in home or commercial composting but in commercial composting the temperature will be higher and the process is much quicker. In a colder home composter it will just take longer.
