Born and raised among coffee plantations, Max Pérez was acutely aware of both the risks and potential within the coffee industry. Driven by a desire to “make the coffee dreams come true,” he and his wife, Claudia, founded Finca La Hermosa in 2010. Situated on the slopes of the Acatenango volcano, the coffee farm benefits from fertile volcanic soils that nurture a diverse range of coffee varieties, including an entire “Gesha forest.” This coffee combines two distinct processing techniques - honey and natural sundried. The honey process incorporates anaerobic fermentation while leaving the sticky mucilage on the coffee seed for 2 days before being dried. Through the natural process, coffee cherries are dried with their fruit intact for 30 days on raised beds. Roasting these two coffees together results in the distinguished characteristics of blueberry, honeysuckle and limeade, a beautiful reflection of both processes and variety.
