Wholesale Silviaaaaaaa

Country: Guatemala Region: Palencia Farmer: Silvia de Lemus ~ Finca San Jorge Variety: Caturra Process: Washed This Coffee truly means the world to us. We feel Blessed to have Finca San Jorge from Guatemala in our coffee family AGAIN! This farm is run by a Silvia de Lemus, her husband, and her son. Last time around, it took us a whole year to actually get this Finca San Jorge in our hands! Why did it take so long? Well, that’s a long story of figuring out customs, logistics, shipping companies trying to scam us, and borders to reopen. We'll leave the story below for those that missed it :) After 9 months into the journey of trying to get this wonderful coffee from Finca San Jorge, we finally got a lead on how to get the coffee here. A farmer cooperative in Guatemala called Chica Bean reached out to us because they saw us online and loved our mission. We had a chance to learn so much about the producers they were working with and asked if they could help out with getting this coffee from Finca San Jorge to us. They said, "Yes!" It was truly so divine! Come to find out Silvia de Lemus at Finca San Jorge had actually attended a workshop Chica Bean did before. So they knew each other. The world truly is small y'all! We then reintroduced Silvia to our contacts at Chica Bean and she happily took the 300lbs of coffee that we ordered to their head quaters for shipment. All of the shipment was ready to go and we all discovered that someone at the shipping company in Guatemala had quit so we had to wait for a new person to fulfill the position. They hired someone and then they quit, and we were back to waiting. The shipping company finally got someone to fulfill the necessary position to get our coffee to us and then no one showed up to the farm to pick up the coffee. After about a week of being told that someone from the shipping company was coming to pick up the coffee, our dear friends at Chica Bean said, "Forget all this waiting and back and forth! We're taking the coffee to the airport to get it on a plane for shipment!" At this moment we imagined our friends at Chica Bean as superheroes with capes on! {And the superhero theme music plays in the background}. They got the coffee to the airport and finally it was on the way!
