About this coffee
TTOA = Transition To Organic Agriculture
This coffee is called Encuentros because it comes from an isolated plot that is in transition to organic agriculture.This plot is located where all the other plots of the farm meet, in a central square, hence its name Encuentros which means Meetings.
Already driven by a strong societal conscience, Renardo has developed numerous projects aimed at improving the living and working conditions of its employees: creation of a daycare center for the children of workers, balanced meals or even higher remuneration. than in most other farms in the country ... people are at the heart of the producer's concerns. In addition to his social involvement, Renardo is now embarking on organic farming and this coffee is proof of this because it comes from a plot that is in transition.
Marjorie, our agricultural engineer, has attended many training courses on organic farming practices. She took part in setting up this transition at Renardo with the help of Mercedes, an agricultural engineer at La Bolsa and Jacqueline, Renardo's wife. Find in video the replay of their discussion around this project on our YouTube channel in Les Primeurs playlist !

Terroir La Libertad
La Libertad is the largest town in the department of Petén, in northern Guatemala. This landlocked area, 200 metres above sea level, lies at the bottom of a rift surrounded by high mountains. It is in the heart of these mountains, at an altitude of over 1,300 metres, that the coffee-growing areas are located. The terroir of La Libertad is one of the highest in the Huehuetenango appellation, giving this coffee a much greater complexity than a 'standard' SHB quality, which must at least be produced at altitudes above 1200 meters.
Meet Renardo Ovalle
A few words about Renardo Ovalle
Renardo Ovalle is the third generation of the family to produce coffee in the Huehuetenango region of northern Guatemala. Owner of the La Bolsa, El Rincon and Las Terrazas farms, the company has taken on the name "Vides 58" in homage to the farm's founder, his grandfather Jorge Vides.
A doctor by profession, Jorge Vides left his son, producer and Q Grader, a humanist philosophy that has remained at the heart of the farm and the Ovalle family. The passion of Renardo and his workers for their craft can be felt right down to the cup.
Today, the Ovalle family is one of the most recognised Guatemalan families in the world of speciality coffee. Their numerous Cup of Excellence awards and the positioning of their coffees in the world's most renowned roasting houses have helped them earn this reputation.
