Special certified coffee
CSC is the association of coffee roasters that has invested in the quality of the Guatemalan women's coffee, buying it at a fair price and allowing it to be distributed in the European market.
The Doña Lucero has obtained the CSC certification, which attests to the superior level of the blends marketed by its members, carrying out controls from plantation to cup.Doña Lucero has obtained the CSC certification that attests to the superior level of the blends marketed by its members, carrying out controls from plantation to cup. To this end, a series of procedures are put in place - developed precisely to achieve a certain and demonstrable quality standard - which quality standard - involving all phases of the coffee production cycle.
.The phases of the project
The Region
Petatán is a province nestled in the mountains of the Huehuetenango region in the western part of Guatemala. Passed down through generations, the cultivation, processing, and sale of what's known as pure highland coffee is the primary source of employment and sustenance for the local residents.
The project
The training for the participants includes providing agricultural materials, specialized technical support to improve coffee cultivation and harvesting techniques. The program's goal is to strengthen the women's group by enhancing their skills, raising awareness of their roles, and promoting effective resource management.
Product processing
After picking, the berries are stripped, where the red skin and pulp are removed. Many women use hand mills for this, either at home or in the fields. The beans are then soaked for a couple of days, carefully washed, and left to dry for about four to five days, often on rooftops or in house courtyards.
The caficultrices
The 80 coffee growers elected a leadership team with Doña Juanita as the president and four other women. This is just the first step toward a bigger goal: forming a collective or association. The most important impact of the project is inspiring them to organize, advocate for their rights, and strive for independence.
