The Morales Family purchased the farmland that would eventually become Rosma Coffee Land in 1963, which had a few existing coffee trees already growing. Alejandro and Freddy inherited the land from their father in 1980 and named the farm after their mother, Rosemarie (Rosma for short). The farm became a beacon of hope for locals to find work, and with the help of the city, a road was built to aid production and logistics.
Located outside the town of Huehuetenango, the Aguacatones farm was originally developed as an avocado plantation. Unfortunately, a fire destroyed most of the trees, and with the excessive heat, growing coffee seemed like a pipe dream. But with a massive effort to create new irrigation systems and replant lost shade trees, a new environment for coffee production was created. This transformation not only enabled coffee cultivation but also made the process more efficient and less costly on labor.
An excellent example of the potential of Guatemalan coffee, this lot showcases a dense, chocolate-forward body while highlighting brighter berry notes.
