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.
