Ojo De Agua – Guatemala

In the subtropical highlands of Ciudad Vieja, a municipality of Guatemala, 8 producers recently joined forces in Proyecto Ojo de Agua, a collective initiative with the goal of producing exceptional coffees.

These producers have an intimate knowledge of the seasons and the land, with many of them being from families that have produced coffee in the region for generations. Ojo de Agua therefore, works to highlight the skills of these producers with greater traceability, processing consistency, and post harvest control, outputting high quality coffees and connecting the producers with the global specialty market. In 2024 the producers began bringing their carefully harvested, ripe Red Bourbon cherries to Beneficio La Esperanza, a wet mill operated by Los Volcanes Coffee where the coffees are meticulously processed. The name Ojo de Agua translates to "Spring of Water", reflecting the natural abundance of the region.

Ojo de Agua is located in the Department of Antigua and backed by the Volcón de Agua in the heart of Guatemala's historic coffee belt. The area is perfect for growing coffee; the volcanic soils are among the most nutrient-rich in the Americas, coupled with consistent rainfall, cool mountain breezes, and high elevations, results in exceptionally grown coffees.

We are so excited to be able to share this coffee with you!
