Origin Story
In 2020, with help from the nonprofit CRS and funding from USAID, we convened a coffee quality event for smallholder cooperatives in Guatemala that we called Intelligentsia ECWx. We were impressed with the three women who represented the COOPESQUI coop, 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 is the fourth consecutive year we have worked with COOPESQUI, and the coffee just keeps getting better. This lot, grown by women and sourced from an organization run by women, is the largest of the three single-origin lots we sourced this season from COOPESQUI.
