This aromatic, medium-roast coffee hails from the lush highlands of Guatemala. Enjoy its full-bodied sweetness, delicate floral notes, and savoury hints of dates and nutmeg.

FEDECOCAGUA was founded in 1969 to uplift small-scale farmers, and currently consists of 19,354 members in 37 cooperatives. They offer credit, technical support, transport, warehousing, and the purchase, processing, and export of coffee beans. Moreover, an organic conversion program has been launched, with this coffee being the first success. Grown in Guatemala's Huehuetenango, Cobán, Verapaces, Retalhuleu, San Marcos, & Zacapa regions, UN reports show that children average 1-2 years of education. Yet, Guatemala's income from coffee has plummeted by a third since the 90s. FEDECOAGUA is reversing difficult economic conditions, poor infrastructure, health, and education. Typically, 90% of farmers' income comes from coffee, but only 2% of production is organic. Therefore, this shade-grown coffee represents the finest quality, enabling farming communities in Guatemala to benefit from increased sales of premium. 


Building Lasting, Sustainable Partnerships with Farmers

We are dedicated to creating strong, sustainable relationships with cooperative farmers. By paying the Fairtrade Premium, we ensure that farmers receive fair compensation, empowering them to reinvest in their farms and communities. This not only promotes the creation of sustainable products but also generates long-term benefits for both people and the planet.

As a multi-stakeholder cooperative, we invite farmers to become members, giving them an active voice in our operations. This collaborative approach strengthens our partnership and fosters a more equitable and thriving community.
