The region's abundance of rivers and streams allows for mills to be placed almost anywhere, with most coffee growers in Huehuetenango processing their own coffee.
This coffee was produced by various small-holder farmers. Guatemala's coffee producers are known for their tenacity and dedication to producing high-quality beans. They are constantly looking for better growing conditions, investing in moving to higher grounds to increase their options for growing specialty green coffees and dedicating lands at higher altitudes to planting traditional varietals that produce differentiated cup qualities.
