Maria Elena Vides

Maria Elena Vides cultivates coffee in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala, operating within an altitude band of 1600 to 2250 meters. This high elevation geography provides a suitable environment for the production of arabica cultivars.

The varietal landscape in the catalog consists primarily of Caturra and Bourbon. These traditional varieties appear consistently across the producer's offerings, forming the foundation of the catalog entries.

The process portfolio reflects standard preparation methods, featuring both washed and natural treatments. The catalog records a division between these two styles, with washed coffees accounting for the majority of the indexed lots alongside natural preparation.

The catalog footprint includes three total coffees represented across two different roasters, namely Bard Coffee and Rumble Coffee Roasters. Harvest years and competition recognitions are not cited in the current data.

Recent catalog examples illustrate this range of preparation and varietal use. Finca Cuevitas, roasted by Bard Coffee, features a washed blend of Bourbon and Caturra. Rumble Coffee Roasters has carried Guatemala El Panal processed as a natural Caturra and Bourbon blend, as well as Guatemala Dos Rios prepared as a washed coffee using the same varieties.

The work of Maria Elena Vides is characterized by traditional varietal cultivation and standard processing methods within the high-altitude terrain of Huehuetenango.
