ORIGIN STORY
We chose Waykan offering because of their pristine
dynamic character of coffees from Huehuetenango, with their crisp
acidity reminiscent of lemon, grape, or apple, and a balance of toffee and sweet
nuts, like almond. In the Maya Q’qnjobal dialect in the region, “waykan” means “star,
or light that shines in the sky at night.” The indigenous population in and around Huehuetenango plays a large role in the coffee production here, and coffee
accounts either directly or indirectly for roughly 80 percent of the local economy. This was a favorite on the cupping table. This ocelot definitely has come out to play!
