Why The little
Farmer?
We call it "From the mountain to your cup".
Our specialty coffee is hand-selected and hand-brewed by our farmers who have spent generations perfecting their approach to growing the highest quality coffee possible.
Our
Philosophy
We are a second generation coffee grower, our grandparents started the passion for coffee since 1954 when they noticed that Guatemala was so rich in soils, fertilizers and microclimates, that it is the perfect environment to grow different types of coffee.
They always believed in the importance of taking care of farmers through fair trade.
Our
Coffee
Guatemala's coffee plantations represent the largest artificial forest in Central America. An estimated 800 million coffee trees are cultivated in the country.
Our artisan coffee from the Guatemalan Highlands has a low acidity, mild flavour with medium body and caramel and orange citrus notes.

Plantations
Surely you have heard the phrase: "High altitude coffee, the climate of the good drink". Did you know that this refers to the fact that the crop must be grown in dark, shaded lands, with an ideal temperature of between 19° and 25°C?
Rainfall is a fundamental part of the production of high altitude coffee, the coffee plant is a very delicate plant that requires tropical locations; it must be moderate as excess rainfall can affect the crop. That is why our coffee comes from expert producers who with love and effort maintain their coffee plantations in perfect conditions to bring you our GROUND COFFEE.
We support small-scale
Guatemalan coffee growers
