Mario Jordan Duarte has produced an exceptional and unusual coffee. His farm, Finca Alotepeque, is located in the La Canadá community of Concepción Las Minas, a town in the Chiquimula department of Guatemala. While most roasters are aware of growing regions like Huehuetenango and Antigua, it’s surprisingly common to find excellent Guatemalan coffee from farms in unfamiliar stretches, such as this.
Alotepeque is a 200 acre farm just minutes from the Eastern border of Guatemala, close to both neighbors Honduras and El Salvador. Cultivating coffee there since 1990, Mario and his family – his wife and their five children – also harvest bananas, avocados, and citrus fruits including mandarin oranges and lemons. Nearly a fifth of the farm is preserved natural forest.
His Pacamara packs a marvelous punch. It's also available in Crown Jewel 22lb boxes (that's 10 kilos for everyone outside the US). Check the link in our profile to scope the Crown Jewel inventory!
