Producer overview
Don Higinio Gomez produces coffee in Guatemala, specifically within the El Progreso region in the Sierra De Las Minas mountain range. The farms operate at high altitudes ranging from 1700 to 1800 meters above sea level. This geographic profile sets the stage for slow cherry maturation and dense bean development.
The varietal landscape represented in the catalog focuses entirely on the Pacamara cultivar. Across the recorded entries, the pacamara variety is explicitly noted three times. This narrow varietal concentration highlights a specific focus on large-bean, complex cultivars known for distinctive cup profiles.
Processing methods for these lots are similarly unified. All recorded coffees from Don Higinio Gomez utilize the washed process. The catalog captures three washed lots in total, indicating a consistent approach to post-harvest preparation that highlights regional and varietal characteristics cleanly.
The catalog footprint includes three total coffees across two different roasters, namely Proud Mary Coffee and Roseline Coffee. Harvest representations and index data show an average Cherrybook Index of 77.3 across these offerings. Currently, all recorded lots are out of stock.
Recent catalog examples illustrate this sourcing footprint. Proud Mary Coffee has featured a washed Yellow Pacamara lot, while Roseline Coffee has also carried washed Pacamara lots from this producer. These entries demonstrate ongoing distribution among specialty roasters focused on Guatemalan single-origin coffees.
Overall, the work of Don Higinio Gomez in the catalog is distinguished by a dedicated focus on washed Pacamara coffees grown at high elevations in El Progreso.
