Details: These coffee beans are sourced from 400 family-owned coffee farms located within the municipality of Huehuetenango, Guatemala. On average, coffee producers cultivate on two acres of land, intercropped with corn, and beans produced for their own family's consumption.
The producers have very little infrastructure to process their coffee, so they've partnered with an export company called Unitrade Coffee. A centrally located, wet mill in Huehuetenango, where the producers can deliver their cherries.
In addition to supporting the coffee producers, and improving their access to international coffee markets, Unitrade Coffee has also established CoffeeCare, which focuses on education, nutrition, and health for its family members. This ensures coffee producers have a healthy place to send their children to learn, grow, and play while harvesting coffee during the day.
