We were impressed with the three women from La Libertad, Huehuetenango who represented the Coopesqui cooperative, and even more impressed with the coffee they offered us. We sourced one small lot from them that same year and never looked back.

The details

Origin story

  • Country Guatemala
  • Producer Jose Fernando Lopez
  • Processing Method Washed
  • Direct Trade Partner Since 2020
  • Direct Trade
In 2020, we expanded upon the concept of our Extraordinary Coffee Workshop, an event that brings our global Direct Trade network, and convened a coffee quality event for smallholder cooperatives in Guatemala that we called Intelligentsia ECWx. We were impressed with the three women from La Libertad, Huehuetenango who represented the Coopesqui cooperative, and even more impressed with the coffee they offered us. We sourced one small lot from them that same year and never looked back. This lot, our second release of the year from Coopesqui, is a field blend from cooperative member José Fernando López and his farm, Finca La Montaña.

How To Brew

We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from Intelligentsiacoffee.com.

    Why We're Different

    • Intelligentsia coffee buyers travel year-round working with a network of farmers. From the farm, coffee arrives at the roasting works in Chicago, where coffee professionals cup, grade, and release over 50 single-origins and blends annually.
