Huehuetenango is one of Guatemala’s most celebrated coffee-growing regions due to its high elevation, cool climate, and dry winds from Mexico’s Tehuantepec plain. These conditions allow for slower bean maturation and more complex flavor development.

SHB (Strictly Hard Bean): Indicates coffee grown above 1,200 masl, leading to denser, higher-quality beans.

EP (European Preparation): Beans are carefully hand-sorted to remove defects and foreign materials.

Retrillas del Pacífico, S.A. is a Guatemalan green coffee exporter/mill, operating under several trade names. Despite its modest size, it plays a meaningful role in connecting local producers—particularly in regions like Gualán—to U.S. specialty coffee importers, while involvement with co‑ops signals a clear commitment to supportive and sustainable coffee sourcing.
