Armando Quinteros Wholesale

Overview  This is the fourth consecutive season that coffee from Armando Quinteros has been sold on the international market, and we've once again purchased nearly his entire harvest. We’ve been intentionally increasing our volume from this area of Guatemala the past few years in continued solidarity with the Cafe Colis Resistencia group. Armando Quinteros owns a 2 hectare farm, El Matazano, in a remote region called El Volcanito - located near the town of Casillas. More generally speaking, this coffee growing region is around a 3 hour drive directly East from Antigua, where we source a large portion of our Guatemalan coffees with Beneficio Bella Vista.  El Volcanito is almost entirely populated by Xinca coffee growers. Armando has been growing coffee here his entire life, following the footsteps of previous generations of his family. He’s one of the relatively newer members of the group to take on the responsibility of fully processing and drying his coffee, which is a stark contrast
