Know-how, passion, attention to detail. These are the intangible human elements that transform something from mass produced to one of a kind, from ordinary to extraordinary, and that in coffee make all the difference.

Guatemala's coffee has this artisanal quality. It is a craft, forged from a lifelong experience with the land, the climate, and the processing. A lesson in quality that has been passed down from parent to child from generations and has endured to this day.

But producing coffee in this delicate way–under shade, handpicked, slowly fermented, and washed–takes time and many hands.

These are just some of the most fascinating stories about our producers, the people that make possible the renown quality and taste of Guatemalan Coffees.
