Acatenango

Guatemala

In the foothills of the Acatenango volcano, we’re proud to partner directly with La Hermosa Cooperative—a vibrant community of 52 small-scale producers deeply committed to organic farming and the future of Guatemalan coffee.

From Vision to Reality

Thriving Coffee Hub

Founded by Max Pérez and Claudia, La Hermosa was the first co-op in the Acatenango Valley. Though Max began his career in law, he and Claudia returned to their agricultural roots with a vision for a more just and sustainable system. Together, they transformed an abandoned farm into a thriving coffee hub, introducing organic practices, community-focused infrastructure, and a model that prioritizes quality and environmental stewardship.

Progress & Preservation

Growing with Care

Their leadership has created jobs for over 750 people and nurtured a new generation of coffee growers. With 33% of their land in production and 67% protected as forest, La Hermosa stands as a living example of balance between progress and preservation.

Investing in People & Land

Proud Partners

We’re honored to be the only U.S. roaster working directly with Max, Claudia, and the La Hermosa team. Their passion, transparency, and commitment to regenerative agriculture make them the kind of partners we are proud to stand beside. Together, we’re not just producing excellent coffee—we’re investing in people, protecting land, and building a future where Guatemalan coffee continues to flourish.
