ABOUT THE PRODUCER + REGION

The Quetzal (the national bird of Guatemala) Program was born after the creation of “Regional Select - Waykan”, which helps to highlight the distinct regional differences coming out of Guatemala. Quetzal as a program allows our importer, Cafe Imports, to purchase more and pay more for high quality coffees from these hardworking producersin Guatemala.

Huehuetenango is located in Western Guatemala bordering Mexico. It is extremely diverse and known for producing some of the best coffees in Latin America, due to its climate, altitude, water sources, and traditional varieties. A range of offerings come out of Huehuetenango, including chocolatey volume offerings and fruit-forward microlots. 

High-grown, hard-bean coffees from Guatemala are a staple offering for many coffee roasters and we're so excited to bring you our first Guatemalan! The crisp acidity, full body, and toffee sweetness found in these coffees make them versatile and approachable.
