This coffee is sourced from a network of smallholder farmers in the Western Highlands of Guatemala, particularly in mountainous departments such as Quiché and Huehuetenango. In this rugged, high-elevation region, generations of Indigenous and mestizo farming families cultivate coffee along steep slopes under dense shade canopies of native trees, avocado, and Inga species.

These farmers typically manage small family-owned plots ranging from 1 to 5 hectares, relying on cooperative organizations for organic certification, centralized milling, and export coordination. Traditional agroforestry practices are widely used, helping preserve biodiversity, improve soil fertility, and maintain sustainable organic production systems.

Coffee in this region—primarily high-grown Arabica varieties such as Bourbon, Caturra, and Catuai—is carefully hand-harvested during peak season. Ripe cherries are delivered to community wet mills, where they are depulped, fermented, washed, and then dried on patios or raised beds under the highland sun. The beans are milled and graded to meet strict export standards, ensuring clarity, consistency, and traceability.

These lots are selected for their balanced acidity, cocoa sweetness, and clean cup profile, along with their organic certification and environmentally responsible farming methods. While not tied to a single estate, this offering represents the collective effort of small producers who depend on cooperative networks for processing, quality control, and access to international markets—reflecting the resilience, heritage, and ecological stewardship that define coffee cultivation in Guatemala’s Western Highlands.
