Great passion and attention to detail at every step, ensures our coffee is special. We source our coffee from a variety of farms across Guatemala, including our own. Consistent quality coffee is a dance between nature and man. The farm team needs to completely understand their farms unique microclimate and adapt with the changing weather patterns. Beyond growing healthy plants, the farm team's attention to detail in the field/wet mill/patios, raised beds and dryers ensure consistency in quality every year.
We are involved every step: from introduction, initial and mid harvest assessment, sample and lot selection, order placement, milling, warehousing, export, shipping, quality checks, import, post harvest debrief, trend reporting and future harvest planning.
