ASOPCE, or the Association of Special Coffee Producers of Huehuetenango, is a small farmers association in Huehuetenango dedicated to providing support and representation to smallholder producing families of Huehuetenango. The 450 member families have small lots mostly ranging from less than a hectare to 5 hectares, spread along the remote mountain communities of Huehue. Each producer family is responsible for wet milling and patio drying their coffee, following strict guidelines for processing. Parchment is stored at the centralized ASOPCE bodega until it’s ready for export, at which time separate lots are blended according to cup quality and profile.
