The Story

Finca El Mirador is a testament to the Lopez family’s dedication, having cultivated coffee in the rugged terrain of Huehuetenango for nearly 38 years. Initially facing logistical challenges, they transported their coffee on horseback for days. Over time, as specialty coffee gained recognition for its unique qualities, they adopted advanced agricultural practices that improved the quality and sustainability of their crops.

With support from Primavera Coffee, the Lopez family has modernized their operations, enhancing their wet-milling techniques and drying processes. Jose López oversees the collection station, where meticulous quality checks ensure that each batch meets their high standards. Their commitment to excellence and passion for coffee shine through in every cup, reflecting the rich heritage of their land and the evolution of their craft.
