Our challenge

Guatemalan Coffees ® interest is to satisfy the market necessities regarding high quality coffee. We can offer not only availability of this product but also we can guarantee origin and appellation.

Guatemalan Coffees ® had been highly prized in the international market since the first export in 1859. Recently, we have held two international competitions and Internet auctions with the “Cup of Excellence®” which offers the best Guatemalan coffees for well-known and demanding worldwide companies who know about our excellence of coffee through on line bids. An international jury of 23 members selected exceptional coffees to be sold to the best bid.

The results were astonishing: a pound of one of these unique lots was bought at $11.00. This price talks by itself. But perhaps reading jurors comments would help you get an idea of the quality we are offering.

Our challenge is to make these exotic and surprising Guatemalan tastes available for the consumer. We would like to bring them directly to your cup.
