Guatemala - Huehuetenango - Medium
Waykan offerings are chosen by Cafe Imports for their pristine example of the dynamic
character of coffees from Huehuetenango, with their crisp acidity reminiscent of lemon, grape, or apple, and a balance of toffee and sweet nuts, like almond. In the Maya Q’qnjobal dialect in the region, “waykan” means “star, or light that shines in the sky at night.”
The indigenous population in and around Huehuetenango plays a large role in the coffee
production here, and coffee accounts either directly or indirectly for roughly 80 percent of the local economy.

Process: Washed
