In Guatemala
Our Farm Visits
Where our coffee begins.
Training
Specialty Coffee
Our education starts at Anacafé, Guatemala’s national coffee association. We take their courses on cultivation, harvest, and processing, and learn the specialty grading standards every Guatemalan lot is measured against.
Discovering Profiles
At the Cupping Table
Every coffee we sell is cupped first. Time at the table with rows of glasses, spoons, and a score sheet teaches us what altitude does, what variety does, what the wash leaves behind. Then we choose the ones we want to put our name on.
Origin
At the Farms
Our farm visits take us on great adventures. We walk the rows, watch the picking, stand at the wet mill and the drying patio, and eat at the dinner table with the families who grow coffee. One farm sits on the far side of a rushing river with no bridge. Our pickup drives straight through. Some coffee you have to earn.
