Cafe Altura Guatemalan is deep, juicy, and full flavored coffee
Certified as both Fair Trade and Organic, Cafe Altura Guatemalan coffee is sourced from family-owned farms organized around Guaya'b Asociacion Civil. Guaya'b has perfected the art of picking, depulping and fermenting their coffee to produce deep, juicy, and full flavored coffee with a truly distinctive character.
"Since we began selling at the Fair Trade price we have seen a big improvement in our quality of life. Co-op members can now afford to buy clothes and medicine for their families, and they benefit from the new programs the co-op has implemented with revenue from Fair Trade sales."
- Antonio Carmelo Camposeco, Guaya'b President
