THREE SPEED

THREE SPEED // GUATEMALA

This coffee comes from a very special family run farm in Santa Rosa, Guatemala. Brice has visited this farm three times now, the last time with our Director of Coffee Riley in 2023. The farm is situated on a small dormant volcano with rich soil and varying landscape. The farm features coffee grown at high elevation in full sun and full shade. There are also a few lots at lower elevation that run along a stream that traces thorough the property.

John Schippers is a 3rd generation farmer and uses a variety of natural crop management techniques to avoid using chemicals for fertilizer or pest management. The farm is fairly large and employs 13 families full time who live on the farm and work year round on designated lots they are responsible for. 

The farm does all their own wet milling and processing. Once fully processed at the dry mill in Guatemala City, we work with one of John's daughters, Paulina, who lives in the USA and imports their family coffee into Auburn, AL.
