Yudi Alejandrina Perez operates her farm El Aliso, which is in one of the highest and coldest parts of the Santa Barbara Mountains in Huehuetenango. This high, mountainous area is full of fertile, mineral rich soil. The temperatures are very stable year-round with low rainfall amounts.
Yudi's farm is about an hour drive from Huehuetenango City. From there, you drive another 30 minutes on a dirt road, and walk 30 more minutes. She manages her farm alone with her children, since her husband, like many men in the area, migrated to another country in search of better job opportunities. At first, it was a challenge for Yudi to manage the farm alone, but with time and practice, she became an excellent administrator. She relies on her relatives (who are mostly women) for help picking during harvest, and only hires external workers when she needs to move the coffee down the mountain to the collection center.
The coffee is a quintessential Huehuetenango, with notes of milk chocolate and vanilla baked goods. There is great acidity, in the form of apricot jam and citrus.
Frequently Asked Questions
When Will My Order Ship?
Most orders ship the next business day from when they are placed, unless that is a holiday.
The only exception is any pre-order item, which will ship on the date stated on that item's pre-order page.
Do You Have Recommendations For Brewing?
Yes!
First, we recommend a brewing ratio of about 1:17. So whatever your dose of coffee is for a brew (we recommend weighing your coffee in grams), multiply that number by 17, and use that weight of water to brew.
Second, always try to grind your coffee fresh, directly before you brew. This will significantly impact the flavor.
Lastly, and maybe most important, always use the highest quality water you can. Filtered is always best. Coffee is 98.5% water, so the water you use makes a huge difference.
Any other questions? Just drop us a line.
Is ReAnimator Coffee Organic/Fair Trade?
While some of our coffees may happen to be certified organic or fair trade, we do not specifically look for either of these certifications when sourcing coffees, and do not market them as such.
All of our coffees are bought at fixed prices above the c-market, and 99% of the time we are paying higher prices than the Fair Trade Certified price.
Our sourcing goals are always quality and flavor focused, and we buy from producers and importers we trust to provide us with coffee that fits into our ideology.
