This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
La Maravilla was established in 1997 by Guillermo Rosales and his son, Mauricio, after they purchased the land in the Huehuetenango region. The farm began with only three coffee plants and was initially accessible only by a narrow horse path. Today, the farm continues as a family-run operation with Mauricio and his son, Luis, managing the estate.
Challenges
The farm is located in a remote and rugged area of the Huehuetenango mountains, which originally presented significant accessibility issues requiring the construction of roads.
Innovations
The Rosales family has focused on progressive coffee production by constructing their own wet mill, building drying patios, and implementing sustainable practices such as forest preservation and water treatment.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
