In the small region of Agua Dulce, Cuilco, near the Mexican border, one of the most important coffee-growing areas of Huehuetenango, known as Huehue de las Tierras Altas (Huehue of the Highlands), lies Rincón Del Café, an annex of the El Zapote farm, located northeast of the main farm.

The even distribution of rainfall throughout the year is excellent for coffee bean development. Our harvest season lasts approximately four months, from January to April.

The climate ranges between 20 and 22 degrees Celsius, with annual rainfall between 1500 and 2000 mm. Surrounded by mountainous terrain, the farm boasts diverse microclimates that allow for the optimal growth of different coffee varieties.

The Rincón Del Café Annex was established in 2020, and we work with dedication and passion. Over the years, the coffee farm has continued to expand and increase coffee production, combining sustainable agricultural practices and fostering human collaboration for the benefit of people and communities, allowing us to obtain high-quality coffee.

Currently, the farm is managed by the fifth generation of the Pérez family (José Hernán Pérez Barillas). We are a leading company in the production and marketing of specialty coffee, facing significant challenges such as adapting different varieties to soil and climate conditions, in addition to labor shortages and the high cost of agricultural inputs.

Our family tradition has allowed us to establish a commitment to strict quality control, from seed to cup. We have created our own production processes and are constantly innovating and researching to improve our production and the quality of our coffee. All of this is done with environmentally friendly practices, thus contributing to improving the quality of life of our people.
