El Salvador Nombre de Dios

Nombre de Dios farm is run by fourth generation coffee growers, Maria Elena and her two sisters. They carry on the tradition of their grandfather, who planted the farm in the 1860’s. Located 1500 meters above sea level, in the highlands of Alotepec-Metepan Mountain Range of El Salvador, the coffee produced here has tastes of citrus fruit, sweet apricot, and sweet Belgium chocolate with balanced acidity.

The growth and development of the community is a priority for the family farm; they have donated land where a school, clinic, football field, and church were built. They are also Members of the IWCA and have received Cup of Excellence awards in the last 5 years.

Cafe de Mujer

We are excited to partner with these Women in Guatemala. This coffee is produced and cultivated by a Co-Op of smallholder women farmers. The coffee is strictly high grown at 1500 meters in the highlands of Huehuetenango, Guatemala. This coffee is part of a project that supported certifications for sustainable practices for women in the coffee value chain resulting in fair-trade and sustainable coffee. The Co-Op has members who represent over nine linguistic Mayan languages. This coffee has an intense acidity, and rich complex flavor with full body.

Cafe de Mujer from Huehuetenango, Guatemala is on a boat making it's way to California. This is the official Mayacert certification showing that the coffee is produced by women. This certificate verifies that this is a sustainable program.
