Continuing our second year working with La Cooperativa San Martin Jilotepeque (COSAMAJ).

San Martin Jilotepeque is a high-elevation, rocky, and mountainous region which has historically made it difficult for trucks moving large volumes of parchment to enter through. Because of this, much of the coffee in the region is often sold in cherry, transported elsewhere, and then processed in more logistically feasible areas. Although selling in cherry offers instant payout, it’s downside is the lower value farmers are left with. COSMAJ came about naturally as various (small and large scale) producers came together with the objective to process their cherries into parchment for better value and to one day export their own coffee. The main reason behind wanting to export comes from their desire to build direct relationships where their coffee can be both better valued but more importantly, honored and appreciated. Little did we know that we would get the honor to represent their first lots and that we’d be a part of their unfolding story.

In the 2023 year, the 9 producers behind Lote Magnolia built their own wetmill.
