About Our Coffee

 

Tucked away in a valley and nestled between three volcanoes, lies beautiful Antigua, Guatemala; it is in this climatically diverse region that you will find the local farmers growing some of the world’s finest coffee. Guatemalan coffee from Antigua is characterized by its rich artisanal history over centuries of tradition. The volcanic soil as well as the warm humid micro-climates enrich the flavors of this coffee known for its rich complexity and balance. This highly rated gourmet coffee is light-medium roasted to brew into full-bodied coffee with unique smoky and chocolaty undertones. Richly complex and well-balanced, this gourmet coffee from Guatemala has hints of spice in the finish that will please the senses.

Special Needz Coffee is committed to purchasing ethically sourced, fair trade sustainable products of the highest quality from places such as Guatemala and other countries. Farmers who grow fair trade coffee receive a fair price, and their communities and the environment benefit as well. Fair trade certified coffee directly supports a better life for farming families in the developing world through fair prices, community development and environmental stewardship. There is absolutely no child labor involved in the products and the goal is to be as close to organic as possible as the coffee is grown pesticide free.
