Guatemala La Palma

The La Palma features balanced notes of blackberry, dates and marzipan, as well as an inspiring story of the first-generation coffee producer.

Coffee Details

Yonny Martinez migrated to the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala when he was only 14 years old, working and saving for 17 years before he could afford to buy a few hectares of land to start a coffee farm. The farm name "La Palma" comes from the fact that there is a lone palm tree growing on the farm- very unusual in that region. Mr. Martinez now produces some truly excellent coffees, and supports his wife and four children. We are inspired by his story, and are excited for you to try this amazing coffee.
