Guatemala is a coffee-growing region that only a few have yet learned to appreciate. Others have captured the advertising world’s imagination (Juan Valdez sound familiar, anyone?) but we are a small group of friends who would like to share a little secret: Guatemala grows an amazing variety of coffee  — eight regional ones, to be exact. And for the real connoisseur,  this is a problem we’d like to help solve.

As we said, there are eight distinct regions producing Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) quality coffees within defined microclimates, and these reward the coffee enthusiast with specialty coffees with unique characteristics.

All are Fair Trade, organic and shade-grown.
