Guatemala Los Pinos

This single-origin offering returns for its second year from Vides 58, a family estate company with six farms based in Huehuetenango, Guatemala and a state-of-the-art cupping lab in Guatemala City. Currently managed by Renardo “Nayo” Ovalle Vides and his incredible team, the Vides 58 legacy began in 1958 with Nayo’s grandfather, Jorge Vides.

Jorge’s family continues to follow in his footsteps, with Nayo dedicating his time to variety diversification, quality improvement, and equipment advancement. He works alongside a team of dedicated professionals, including his wife Jaqueline, a Q grader who manages their stunning lab.

We love this Los Pinos microlot due to its unique anaerobic washed process, which is unusual for a Guatemala coffee. While coffees from this region are typically known for their chocolate and red fruit characteristics, this specialized processing method highlights more tropical fruit notes with a high amount of sweetness. In this mouth-watering brew, we taste notes of dried mango, caramel and guava. We’re excited to bring back a coffee that we have had the opportunity to follow from farm to cup.
