Santos Pablo Ramirez is a dedicated farmer who transformed a modest family tradition into a thriving coffee operation. For years, his family produced only a small amount of coffee for personal consumption and local sales. Eight years ago, recognizing the potential to build a better livelihood through coffee, Santos made a bold investment in a new parcel of land that featured poorly maintained coffee plants. Through persistent effort and innovation, he rehabilitated the farm, expanded his plantings, and steadily improved his agricultural practices to achieve both excellent yields and exceptional quality.

Today, Santos is an active member of El Sendero, a cooperative formed in 2016 to support coffee producers across the Concepcion Huista region of Huehuetenango. The cooperative brings together 196 members (62 women and 134 men) with a strong commitment to gender equality and empowering young coffee farmers. This collective spirit defines Santos' approach: coffee production is a family endeavor, where everyone collaborates to move forward. Each day, he and his family work to refine their practices, striving to produce exceptional coffee and secure a stable, dignified income.

This beautiful washed Guatemalan coffee is a perfect expression of what you will find coming out of Huehuetenango - bright, floral, a light hint of caramel. It's the absolute perfect cup you can enjoy at anytime of day.
