Coffee information

Rosendo Domingo is a second-generation coffee farmer who owns a few small parcels of land in Petatán, Huehuetenango.

His family began producing coffee some 30 years ago, and Rosendo himself trained as an agronomist. This combination of agronomic training and a long background in coffee production allows him to effectively put into use best practices on his farms. This particular lot comes from his farm Palanch’en, which, in the Popti language translates to ‘face of a horse.’ The farm is named after a large rock that resembles a horse’s head.

Since our last visit with Rosendo in 2023, he has actually emigrated out of Guatemala to earn more money for his family. While coffee production on Rosendo’s farms has always been a family effort, even more has now fallen to Evelim Alvarado.
