Guatemala San Martín Jilotepeque

The Asproguate farmer’s association was formed in 2014 by 100 producers to market their organic coffees. The association holds monthly workshops in organic fertilizers, fungicides, and insecticides so producers can make these essential products on their own farms. They also train on erosion mitigation and shade cover. 55% of producer members are women; This is great because there are some Cooperatives that require members to be land owners, who are typically men. We have been buying coffees from Asproguate for a number of years now because the quality is consistent.

Sourced from the San Martín Jilotepeque region of Guatemala, this coffee is produced by the Asproguate cooperative. Coffees from this Central American nation are frequently celebrated for their balanced profiles, often showcasing a harmonious interplay between bright acidity and deep, chocolatey sweetness. When exploring the nuances of such origins, enthusiasts often consult a flavor wheel to better identify the specific aromatic compounds that distinguish high-quality regional lots.

This particular offering is brought to market by Backyard Beans Coffee Co., a roaster dedicated to highlighting the unique characteristics of their selections. By focusing on the specific output of the Asproguate producers, this lot serves as a representative example of the agricultural dedication found within the San Martín Jilotepeque area. Whether enjoyed as a pour-over or a standard drip brew, this coffee invites a closer look at the distinct terroir that defines the Guatemalan landscape.
