Edwin Martinez

The farmer

This is the first coffee we bought directly from the farmer when we first opened our roastery in 2007. Edwin Martinez and his father, Don Edwin Martinez, run their farm in the area of Huehuetenango in the highlands of Guatemala close to the boarder of Mexico.

The farm is located in a picturesque landscape surrounded by mountains reaching up to 3.400 masl. Here, the washed coffee is dried under the sun rays on the patio.

Through the years, we have exchanged experiences, brought back stories from the farm to our guests, shared feedback from the coffee shops to the coffee farm, talked about quality in picking, sorting and drying and much more.

Direct Trade

We work by the values of transparent trade. This helps create a healthy relationship with the farmer and financial sustainability for them.

We pay a quality bonus to Finca Vista Hermosa that is 92% above market price ($4.77/lb FOB). The quality bonus allows the farmer to continue to produce higher quality coffee.
