Dear Cafe Xinca Customer,
The 2013 coffee crop was lost due to a fungal outbreak on coffee farms in Guatemala and throughout Central America. Therefore we are not able at this time to continue to provide for sale our high-quality, shade grown, Arabica coffee. We hope that next year we will once again be open for business. Thank you for understanding.
Sincerely,
Anavela Mijangos, President, Cafe Xinca
The Process
Café Xinca is grown in the mountains of southeastern Guatemala in rich, dark and fertile volcanic soils. Once a year, the ripe, red Arabica (the quintessential specialty coffee known for its exceptional flavor) coffee beans are picked by hand, hulled, washed, sun-dried, and placed into burlap sacks for export. Upon arrival in the United States, Café Xinca is roasted at Orange Roasters, a family run roasting business in Orange, Virginia. Master Roaster Al Welker (pictured left) roasts our coffee in small batches, never exceeding 35 lbs in any particular roast, which is a sign of high-quality roasting, producing the full-flavor associated with coffees from my country, Guatemala.
