Our Guatemalan beans come from ASOBAGRI cooperative, a great coop that has worked for years to achieve consistent, specialty-grade coffee favored by many leading micro-roasters. We have been directly trading with ASOBAGRI since 2001. Over the years, ASOBAGRI has instituted literacy courses, organic and sustainable farming trainings, reforestation, youth in agroforestry programs and many other initiatives made possible by Fair Trade and Direct premiums.
