Description
A coffee imported after Ethan and Kenny traveled to Guatemala and stood on Alfredo’s farm.
Alfredo Ramírez is the dedicated farmer behind Los Pinos, a coffee farm located in the scenic community of Loma Bonita, Tectitán. Five years ago, Alfredo began his journey into coffee cultivation by planting his first coffee bushes as an experiment to test their adaptability to the region. What started small has since grown into a carefully managed farm spanning 0.88 hectares at an altitude of 2,000 meters above sea level.
At Los Pinos, Alfredo cultivates Catimor, Bourbon, and Caturra varieties. With guidance from technical advisors and support from his family, he has steadily refined his farming practices and mastered a range of management techniques. The farm’s name, Los Pinos (“The Pines”), reflects the abundance of pine trees that surround the land. For Alfredo, the most rewarding part of coffee farming is harvest season—seeing the tangible results of months of hard work.

“Many farmers will use the term microlot to describe a coffee lot that is from a single farm, single harvest, or even from a single area on their farm. Some will add this term to a small batch of specially-processed coffee (such as a honey-processed coffee). In any case, for farmers, microlot typically refers to a traceable, exclusive green coffee that the farmer has produced through outstanding effort and great care. When a farmer offers a microlot, it typically represents the best of his crops, and they hope for a much higher return for his labor (typically 1.5 to 3 times the average current market value of the green coffee) by selling directly to buyers or by adding the label to his product before processing or distribution”. – Driven Coffee
