Green Coffee Importer

Specialty Guatemalan Coffee

As a green coffee importer, our coffee is supplied by more than 140 small-scale coffee producers from our nine partner cooperatives located within four distinct internationally recognized coffee-growing regions in Guatemala. Our priority is to promote relationship-based trade between these cooperatives, roasters, and coffee shops that prioritize purchasing ethically sourced beans and making coffee-growing a sustainable livelihood. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
