Zacapa

Zacapa is often more famous for the rum brand, but in this department, towards the Honduran border, you can also find great coffee. The coffee we source from here through FEDECOCAGUA is an example of an Extra Prime Washed -earlier harvesting coffee from the lower altitudes that harvests first, and heralds the new season of coffee as it does.

Around seventy percent of the members of FEDECOCAGUA are from indigenous populations and spread across many different regions including, Huehuetenango, Coban, San Marcos, Zacapa and more. Characterised by difficult economic situations, the role of secondary co-op means that they have access to credit schemes, technical support, warehousing and marketing and export of the coffee to foreign buyers.
