Our Region
In this region, coffee has been cultivated since the 1850s. Today, virtually every farm on the mountain has become a coffee-producing unit and what was once one of the poorest and most isolated areas of Guatemala is vibrant and growing. Rainy and cloudy,
Nuevo Oriente is located on a former volcanic range. Its soil is made of metamorphic rock: balanced in minerals and quite different from soils in regions which have seen volcanic activity since coffee was first planted.
Well balanced and full-bodied with a chocolaty flavor.
First of all, what is direct trade and why do I care?
Direct trade is working directly with the coffee farmer(s) that has worked so hard to provide you with your specialty green coffee, rather than sourcing through a distributor.
Some of the top benefits of this sourcing method include:
- Ensuring you’re ethically sourcing your coffees
- Fairly treated and compensated farmers
- Fresh green coffee from the current season
- You know exactly where your coffee came from
- Learning to look beyond labels & certifications and learn more about coffee farming
- No guesswork on the farming practices that got the green beans to your roaster
Essentially, your sourcing ensures the highest quality you can provide to your customers, while ensuring the sustainability of the coffee industry as we know it. Direct sourcing helps ensure we keep the varieties and nuances of coffee alive.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, we want to give you a quick lesson in Kafetos Guatemalan Coffee.
