Shores of Lake Atitlán

From the shores of Lake Atitlán, these coffees come from Tinamit Tolimán, a cooperative of Kaqchikel coffee growers based in San Lucas Tolimán. The 26 members farm small plots between 1,500 and 2,000 metres, where the high altitude and volcanic soils provide favourable conditions for coffee cultivation.

The growers began working together in 2016, recognising the potential of their farms for specialty coffee, and formally established the cooperative in 2018. Since then, Tinamit has continued to develop its approach to coffee production, with a focus on improving quality while creating greater opportunities for its members.

The Producer

Washed coffee remains an important part of Tinamit's production, while honey and natural processing have become increasingly prominent. These coffees reflect that exploration, with carefully selected cherries processed at the cooperative before being dried on patios and raised beds.

The relationship between Primavera and Tinamit extends beyond coffee, with support for projects that help strengthen livelihoods within the community.

For this lot, ripe cherries are handpicked and delivered to Tinamit on the same day. After careful sorting, the whole cherries are dried on the patio in the sun for five to six days before being moved to raised beds under shade. They are regularly turned throughout drying to ensure an even result, before being prepared for export once they reach the appropriate humidity.

  • Natural

    Ripe cherries are dried whole commonly on patio’s, drying beds or even the bare earth allowing the bean to ferment naturally encased by its fruit.

    The cherries are turned regularly to reduce the risk of defects and ensure even drying.

    Once the cherries resemble raisins and the target parameters are met the coffee is hulled and sorted in the dry mill.
