Made from the Caturra and Bourbon varieties, it is grown between 1,400 and 1,850 metres altitude by a collective of producers from Todos Santos. This washed Arabica coffee is appealing for its medium roast and its rich, fruity profile.

Immersion in the mountains of Todos Santos, meeting the producers
The story of this coffee begins in the heart of Huehuetenango, high in the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes. At an altitude of between 1,400 and 1,850 metres, small farms scattered around Todos Santos and Tuiboch cultivate the Caturra and Bourbon varieties.
Since 1995, some of these producers have been working collectively through ASODIETT, originally founded by ten producers from Todos Santos. Their expertise supports the coffee beyond the harvest: the initial processing stages and drying take place as close to the farms as possible.
Still protected by its parchment, the coffee is laid out on small patios or on the roofs of houses. In this mountainous region, rain can continue throughout the harvest and requires particular care during drying. The coffee then continues its journey to Antigua, where its final preparation is carried out.
Presentation of this coffee
This La Libertad Terroir Coffee is a blend of two farms owned by Renardo Ovalle and his family: El Rincon and La Bolsa. These farms have a total area of 133 hectares. For this coffee, the family has blended two varieties, Bourbon Rouge and Caturra, prepared in the washed method.
La Libertad coffee is produced on limestone soil typical of the Huehuetenango region, which brings out all the typicality of this terroir.
Lionel and Marco from Cafés Lugat had the opportunity to visit these farms and it is with great pleasure that they offer you this La Libertad coffee.
The Renardo farms have received numerous Cup of Excellence awards, allowing them to be recognised worldwide for the quality of their coffees.
Julien* likes it for : This coffee offers a cup with a nice sweetness and a slightly acidic attack reminiscent of green apple. You will appreciate its round and delicious body with notes of caramel and pecan as well as its long finish with vanilla aromas.* The roaster who has a bean (Cafés Lugat) 82/100

Lugat
The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
