MORE INFO

We love Guatemalan coffees. The best coffees from the region are fruity, smooth, and sweet, all things that make for a cup that can be explored in brew after brew.

We're thrilled to bring in another lot from Vides 58. Vides 58 is a family company founded in 1958 that owns six farms in Huehuetenango. Jacqueline, a Q-grader who operates a coffee lab in Guatemala City, and her husband Nayo, the current manager and promoter of Vides 58, have invested greatly in variety diversification, equipment updates, and community improvements like the school they founded on the farm in 1980. Vides 58's focus on quality and beneficial relationships results in the extra care that is so apparent in the delicious taste and experience of their coffees. 

This coffee hails from their Las Bromelias farm, named by Nayo after the many bromeliads (a family of tropical plants from the pineapple family) that grow there. Nayo utilizes regionals trees like Chalum, Inga, and gravileas regional trees to provide shade for the plants to thrive.
