About this coffee: 

Grown in the rich volcanic soils of Sacatepéquez, under the shadow of Volcán de Agua, Project Ojo de Agua represents a fresh chapter in Guatemala’s historic coffee story. Rooted in the famed region of Ciudad Vieja, where coffee first touched Guatemalan soil, this initiative brings together eight smallholder producers who have farmed the land for generations. 

In 2024, these growers began delivering their coffee cherries to Beneficio La Esperanza, Los Volcanes’ wet mill. The result? A new level of quality and traceability, bringing out the full potential of these high-elevation coffees. 

Shade-grown in volcanic soild and hand-picked, Ojo de Agua coffees are a celebration of legacy and innovation. Expect dense, sweet, and complex cups that reflect the care and knowledge behind every harvest. 

This is more than just a coffee, it’s a spring of renewal for local communities. A project built on collaboration, resilience, and a shared vision for the future of Guatemalan coffee.
