Keneth Merida’s farm, Finca Don Jorge, is a dedication to his father of the same name, and all that he’d learned from working his family farm, Finca Florencia. Don Keneth eventually stepped out on his own, purchasing a small piece of land in a village called Las Espinas, which is part of the Malactancito Municipality. This is the first coffee we’ve bought from Las Espinas specifically, however it’s only about 10 miles North of La Libertad, which is where a good portion of our Huehuetenango coffees come from.
Finca Don Jorge is planted in Bourbon, Caturra, Pache, and Pacamara, and everything but the Pacamara is harvested and processed together. Pacamara is a large bean cultivar, and a cross between Pacas and Maragogype. It’s know for it’s physical size and unique flavor properties. Keneth obtained the Pacamara seeds from his father, and this 12 bag lot separation accounts for roughly 1/3 of his total harvest. Finca Don Jorge is just under 3 hectares in size and sits at 1980 meters above sea level.
