Excellent greens
Got some excellent green beans in this week from Guatemala:
Finca El Paternal (Cup of Excellence finalist in 2001). Finca El Paternal is located 15 minutes from the town of La Mesilla on the border with Mexico. The farm has a state-of-the-art traditional wet mill and is a pioneer in the purification of the waste waters – known as aguas mieles – that are left over from the washing of the wet-milling of the coffee cherries. Doña Miguelina and her son, Daniel, run this farm with love, faith and attention to detail. The farmhouse is also used by the local Catholic/Christian community to run seminars, conferences and church activities.
