Of the three non-volcanic regions, Huehuetenango is the highest and driest under cultivation. Due to the dry, hot winds that blow from the isthmus of Tehuatepec, Mexico mountains that cross paths with cool air descending from the Cuchumatanes, the region is protected from frost, allowing Highland Huehue to be cultivated up to 6,500 feet.  The extreme remoteness of Huehuetenango virtually requires all producers to process their own coffee.  Fortunately, this region has numerous rivers and streams that feed the cultivations.

Fine, intense acidity with a full body and pleasant wine notes.
