New Oriente
The New Oriente region, one of the youngest coffee-producing areas in Guatemala, has undergone a major transformation in recent decades. Once dominated by small producers who grew coffee as a secondary crop, the region has evolved thanks to investments in infrastructure and the professionalisation of farming. Today, farms such as Las Brisas carry the tradition forward, in a modern and sustainable context.
Marvin Carias bought his first plot of land in 1990 and has steadily expanded the property ever since, integrating modern and sustainable farming practices. He introduced balanced shade systems, replanted ageing trees and modernised the wet mill, which processes both his own harvest and the coffee cherries from the small farmers in the surrounding area.
The coffee is Washed, a process that involves a controlled fermentation of about 12 hours, followed by careful washing and natural drying on patios. This process brings out the clarity and natural sweetness of the coffee.
A remarkable aspect of Marvin's work is his care for the environment: his wastewater treatment system includes eight successive tanks, through which the water goes through a complete filtration cycle before being reused in production. This approach reduces the environmental impact and optimises the use of resources.
Beyond his exceptional coffee, Marvin is a driving force in the development of the local community. He buys cherries from the small producers in the area, giving them a reliable outlet for their harvest and contributing to the local economy. Through his collaboration with Primavera, a social impact cooperative, he connects local farmers with international markets.
The result of this involvement is visible in the daily life of the community: better roads, access to medical and educational services, and a more optimistic outlook for the young people in the area.
Tasting notes
This coffee offers a balanced profile, with low acidity and a sweetness reminiscent of red fruits and milk chocolate. The body is round and the aftertaste clean and long.
