NEW!! Guatemala Finca El Sarral

Additional information about this amazing coffee:

Jorge Vides, patriarch of the Vides family-owned exporter, purchased his first coffee farm, Finca La Bolsa, in 1958. Finca La Bolsa shares a border with Finca El Sarral, the Vides58 farm where this coffee was cultivated. Jorge was the kind of man who poured his heart into everything he did. In addition to cultivating coffee, Jorge also worked full-time as a physician. In the beginning, he saw patients Mondays through Fridays and worked on the farm during all other hours. He later became director of the National Hospital of Huehuetenango, which still bears his name today. In addition to producing coffee and saving lives through medicine, Jorge founded a school on the farm in 1980. The school, authorized by the National Ministry for Education, still educates young people in the community. In 2001, Jorge, his children, and grandchildren decided to transition the farm towards entirely growing specialty coffee. In 2002, coffee from Vides won 2nd place in the Guatemalan Cup of Excellence. Today, Vides is as family-owned as ever. They manage several farms, including Finca La Bolsa and Finca El Sarral.
