Waykan
Waykan is not a farm but a selection: smallholder lots from Huehuetenango, chosen on cup quality and traceable to the region. The name means star in the Maya Q’anjob’al language — the light that shines in the sky at night. Somewhere around eighty per cent of the local economy depends on coffee, directly or indirectly. In the cup: praline and pecan with a soft, candy-like sweetness. It is the classic Central American profile, and the easiest one to ruin in the roaster.
