A história do café
Farm: Finca El Recuerdo
Producer: Mario Ricardo Alarcon Meléndez
Farm size: 21 hectares
Location: Acatenango town, Chimaltenango Department, Guatemala. Near the Acatenango volcano
Altitude: 1530 - 1690 m
Soil: Volcanic
Cultivated varieties: Caturra, Catuaí, Bourbon, Gesha and Pache
Processes: Natural, Honey and Washed with a triple fermentation
My name is Mario Ricardo Alarcón Melendez and I'm the 5th generation to oversee my family's farm, Finca Monte de Oro, after my mother Ericka Meléndez and my father Mario Rene Alarcón Aguilar. Previously called El Socorro, the farm was renamed by my great grandfather, Fidel Meléndez, due to the great fertility of our soil.
I have been managing the farm since 2008 and designed a new wet mill to improve the post-harvest process of our coffees. I have a degree in Mechanical Industrial Engineering and have been adapting the processing plant over the years to suit different methods, from washed to honeys and naturals.
Thanks to one of the roasters I work with I now have a polytunnel with raised beds where I can control temperature and humidity to better dry micro-lots. I started Truth Trading Company with Christian Starry in 2015 after seeing how our parents were struggling with the prices of coffee. We market not only coffees from our farms but also from other growers we know and trust. We do so in a completely honest and fully transparent way, much like Algrano.
I am constantly innovating at the farm and I follow the guidelines from Brazilian researcher Flávio Borem for drying at the mill. One of the things I learned from him is that aggressive drying of beans leads to higher water activity and that leads to instability within the bean structure. The result is inconsistency and a shorter "shelf" life of green coffee. That is why I monitor the water activity on my coffees and my aim in drying is to reach the 11% moisture content slowly, keeping water activity at an optimum point. I start the post-harvest by fermenting the cherries before drying.
