The coffee story
The coffee from smallholders in this area is normally bought by intermediaries and transported to wet mills in Antigua. Then, it is blended and exported under this denomination despite the 80km distance between them. FECCEG invested in a wet mill in Joyabaj in order to create an identity for the local communities and to directly market the speciality coffees of the area, promoting the identity and culture of each community of producers.
2020 was the first year of operation of the wet mill and the project was received with novelty and appreciation for the investment of this system of buying and processing coffee closer to communities that have not had the opportunity to learn about the coffee chain. The majority of local producers have only 2 hectares of land dedicated to coffee in the communities of Xeabaj and Joyabaj.
This coffee is farmed organically without any chemical inputs and can be described as "wild" or "natural".
The process
The cherries are sorted and pulped by the farmers at the new Joyabaj wet mill and then sundried on patios. The coffee is then collected by FECCEG and dry milled at the cooperative's warehouse.
