Santiago Morales
Santiago grows primarily Red Pache and Bourbon varieties but also explores the creation of hybrids. The high altitude of his farm (1900 masl) is one of the key factors for quality coffee production—alongside climate and land composition. We find flavours of green apple, pear and grape.
Santiago Morales owns Finca El Mirador in Santa Barbara, an area with many beautiful coffee farms in Huehuetenango. He primarily grows Red Pache and Bourbon varieties but also explores the creation of hybrids. Morales works to maintain the coffee area already planted and the native forest of their environment. Coffee growing is his livelihood and he takes great care to produce quality coffee.

A natural mutation of the Typica varietal, Bourbon is named after Reunion Island (then known as Il Bourbon) where the French cultivated the Typica plants which naturally mutated.
A hybrid variety of the Caturra and the Timor Hybrid (resistant to coffee leaf rust due to its Robusta genetic roots).
Caturra is a natural mutation of Bourbon that was originally discovered in Brazil in 1937, considered to be the first naturally occurring mutation ever discovered.
Maragogype is a natural mutation of Typica, named after the town in which it was discovered – Maragogipe, Brazil.
Pache is a natural mutation of Typica, originally discovered in Guatemala in farms of El Brito, Santa Cruz Naranjo and Santa Rosa.
Guatemala’s production of coffee first grew in the 1860s on the back of a declining indigo trade, which had previously existed as it’s main export. Up until 2011 Guatemala was in the top 5 highest producing coffees nations in the world, before being overtaken by Honduras.
Machines are used to remove the flesh from the coffee cherry before being fermented in water, washed again, and finally sun dried. This process tends to result in more distinct, cleaner flavours.
