In Guatemala, coffee is traditionally processed individually by smallholder farmers, making it difficult to manage and guarantee quality form lot to lot. The team in Ayarza works with numerous farmers in the region, paying a premium for ripe cherry and processing it centrally to maintain strict standards throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrancisco Nájera is one of many local producers we work with at Ayarza cherry mill. Francisco was born in El Naranjo town in the Jutiapa department of Guatemala. He is 30 years old, married with two children and has been working in the coffee production business for around 15 years. Cultivating various small plots covering just under 1ha in total, Francisco is a small producer but a great entrepreneur, and has excelled in the coffee production business despite the adversity and constant threat of various coffee diseases. He also dedicates part of his time to developing coffee tree nursery services to sell saplings to other farmers in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe region of Ayarza is a special one, landmarked by the dramatic landscape and cold blue water from the Laguna de Ayarza and Laguna Azul. The lake was formed by two massive volcanos that collapsed and formed a large crater.\u003cbr\u003eThe legends surrounding this lake are numerous and the bottom has never been found. There is a large white rock of a petrified woman who didn’t follow the orders of Jesus. In short, there are simply too many good stories about Ayarza to do it justice!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlam Guatemala always knew the region had massive potential to produce specialty coffee, but the cups that we found were usually solid but unsurprising. Two years ago we rented a wet mill at 1,500 meters on a RFA certified farm. The quality coming from our washed coffee was much better than we expected. Next we tried some naturals by buying cherry in Ayarza and transporting it to a region that had plenty of patios and good wind for drying. This has now been extended to include honey process alongside experimental lots\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The North Bar Roasting Company","offers":[{"title":"200 \/ Beans","offer_id":57321657565559,"sku":null,"price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 \/ Cafetiere","offer_id":57321657598327,"sku":null,"price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 \/ Espresso","offer_id":57321657631095,"sku":null,"price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"400 \/ Beans","offer_id":57321657663863,"sku":null,"price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"400 \/ Cafetiere","offer_id":57321657696631,"sku":null,"price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"400 \/ Espresso","offer_id":57321657729399,"sku":null,"price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9963\/4370\/files\/IMG_2645.png?v=1786044179","url":"https:\/\/www.thenbrc.co.uk\/products\/guatemala-blue-ayarza","provider":"The North Bar Roasting Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
