Guatemala SHB Huehuetenango - San Pedro Necta (GP)

This lot comes from San Pedro Necta in Huehuetenango, Guatemala, a coffee-producing region perched along the slopes of the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes. The region is characterized by dramatic terrain, rich, well-drained soils, and a unique climate. Warm, dry winds from the Tehuantepec Plains of Mexico protect coffee trees from frost, allowing them to thrive at elevations of 1,400–2,000masl.

Coffee in San Pedro Necta is tied to generations of small-scale family farming and indigenous Mam-Maya traditions. Today, hundreds of producers cultivate coffee within the municipality, many working through local cooperatives and community organizations alongside independent family estates.

San Pedro Necta has earned significant international recognition and awards within the specialty coffee sector, as it consistently performs well in quality competitions and maintains a good reputation among specialty coffee buyers. Additionally, a substantial portion of the region's coffee production focuses on certified organic and sustainable farming practices.
