🌍 Origin & Terroir

CAFESMO, short for Cafés Especiales Mercedes Ocotepeque, is a cooperative of more than 280 smallholder coffee farmers working in the hills surrounding Mercedes, close to the borders of Guatemala and El Salvador.

Farms typically range from 2 to 12 hectares, reflecting the region's tradition of small-scale coffee cultivation. The surrounding landscape includes Cerro Pital, the Guisayote National Reserve, and the Pacayita volcano, creating a rich ecosystem with diverse microclimates and fertile soils.

Combined with elevations of 1,200–1,600 metres, these growing conditions support the development of high-quality Arabica coffees with distinctive sweetness, balance, and flavor complexity.

This coffee is produced using the Natural process, beginning with carefully harvested coffee cherries selected at peak ripeness.

The dedication of CAFESMO's smallholder producers, together with careful harvesting and processing, helps preserve the coffee's natural fruit character and sweetness, creating a balanced and approachable cup.
