🧷About La Reforma Y Anexos Farm
The coffee production started with La Reforma Farm, acquired by Mr. Manuel Pérez in 1904,
which was used to produce tobacco, corn, and beans.
Later his son Leonardo continued with the same crops, it was not until 1939 that Leonardo the second began with the coffee production.
Leonardo the second started working incredibly young; He, his brothers and cousins harvest the coffee and processed it manually.
He said that when the coffee was ready, they placed it on mules and they walked for 6 days from Agua Dulce, Cuilco to Huehuetenango,
when he returned he was so happy because he had sold the coffee and could ride the mules back to the farm.
Today the fourth generation continues with this fascinating crop, and it has been so important to the Pérez's Family
that the fifth generation is already working to make the farm become one of the best ones of Huehuetenango.

Acidity explanation:
When customers ask us to recommend beans, the number one question is about flavor, and the number two is “Is this acidic?”
First of all, the feeling of the acidity varies from person to person. Once I met two guests. A said he would like to drink acid coffee, while B said he would not drink acid coffee. So I made a Natural Yirgacheffe Blue Donkey for them. A said that it was too acidic, and B said that it was okay. It is clear that there are individual differences in the sensitivity of acidity.
Since there are individual differences, is there any criterion for reference?
We generally use several fruits to make the evaluation from the least acidic to the most acidic. From 1~5 is strawberry jam, grapes, apples, oranges, lemons. So that the scores of relative acidity can help the consumers with a reference in purchasing.
