We have been buying coffees from Guatemala in collaboration with Primavera Coffee for five years. In fact, they have been among the first couple of companies we worked with to source coffee at all. A women-led company that is on the ground in Guatemala every day, Primavera works with a small-ish number of coffee producers with a focus on female producers.
Their founder Nadine comes from a family with four generations of coffee growers in Guatemala, and she started Primavera to honor this legacy. By building and fostering relationships between roasters and producers, helping with logistics and financing and with their expertise, they facilitate a more direct and transparent trade, with sustainability at the forefront of everything they do. Thanks to transparent and traceable value chains, it is possible that producers are well-rewarded for their efforts and their enthusiasm.
Originally working exclusively with Guatemalan coffee producers, they expanded their operations to include new origins, featuring more coffees that represent their values of sustainability and outstanding quality
