Story:
Alejandro Laines Sales owns nearly 2 hectares of farmland in San Pedro Necta, Huehuetenango. He grows a combination of varieties, including Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, and Catuai, on his family farm, which is at the base of the mountains. "Chejoj," the farm's name, means "land of horses and large birds" in the Mam, or spoken Mayan language. Coffee on his farm is picked ripe and depulped the same day, then fermented for 24–35 hours before being washed three times until the parchment is clean. It's dried on concrete patios for 3.5–5 days.
A deer or true deer is a hoofed ruminant mammal of the family Cervidae. The two main groups of deer are the Cervinae, including muntjac, elk, red deer, and fallow deer; and the Capreolinae, including reindeer, white-tailed deer, roe deer, and moose.
Brew guide:
This coffee brews great for most brew methods, and perhaps a little more care for espresso to dial in.
